The Biggest Balalaika In The World Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][G]
A [Em]girl I [C]know of [Am]Russian birth,
she [F]lives beside the [G]Volga.
The [C]sailors think she's [Am]beautiful,
they [D]call her Volga [G]Olga.
In spite [Bb]of this, [Eb]she won my heart
because [Ab]of her collect[Db]ion of c[C]ellos,
[F#]basses, flut[B]es and drums
and [Bbm]musical [G]cross -sections.
[C][Am][Dm][G][C][D]
[G]She's got the [C]biggest baller
like her in the [Am]Balkans
[G]It's so [C]beautiful [G]it [C]al
most [G]seems a crime
And for just a bob or two
She'll gladly show it off to you
She's got the biggest baller
like her of all time
She's got the [C]biggest baller
like her in the Balkan,
[Am]an d[C] it even makes Kosygin
[G]stop and stare.
She has also got a sitar,
like a guitar,
only sweeter than the biggest
balalaika [C]anywhere.
And yet to [F]let her man friends see them,
she keeps [Em]them in a museum,
where she [Dm]set s them out so
[G]beautiful and [C]nice.
And they're [F]there for all to see,
if you will [Em]pay her one and three,
except for [D]tourists
That's when she doubles up [G]the price
She's got the [C]biggest ballet like her
in the Balkans
But I think you shouldn't resist
her [F]fatal charm[Em]
[Dm]For [D]although it's [B]light and airy,
[G]it is [C]only temporary
[Am]In the l[Dm]ong run it could d[G]o a lot of h[C]arm
And if you [F]should admire her assets
She will [Em]show you all her facets
But [Dm]please be warned,
it [G]might make you lose [C]faith[G]
[C]For if [F]you give her a ruble,
it could [Em]lead you into trouble
That will [D]bring you to dishonor
and dis[G]grace
She's got the [C]biggest ballet like
her in the Balkans
And her cello is immaculately [F]made
[Dm]And her [G]beautiful [B]maracas
would drive [Em]any Russian cracke[Am]rs
So she [Dm]put s her nearest
[G]rivals in the [C]shade
[G]She's [Dm]got the biggest
[G]balalaika [C]ever made[G]
[Am]She's got the [Dm]biggest [G]balalaika
in the [C]world[G][C][G]
[C]Hey! [C]Hey[F]![C]
Hey! Ow!
