That Ivan meets G.I. Joe Ivan meets G.I. Joe Ivan meets G.I. Joe Ivan meets G.I.

So you're on the floor, at 54
Think you can last at the palace
Does your body go to the to and fro?
Tonight's the night, oh didn't you know
That Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
He tried his tricks, that Ruskie bear
The United Nations said it's all fair
He did the radiation, he did the chemical plague
He could not win with a cossack spin
The Vostok Bomb, the Stalin strike
He tried every move, he tried to hitch hike
He drilled a hole like a Russian star
He made every move in his repertoire
When Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
It was G.I. Joe's turn to blow
He turned it on cool and slow
He tried a pay phone call to the Pentagon
A radar scan a leviathan
He wiped the Earth clean as a plate
What does it take to make a Ruskie break?
But the crowd are bored and off they go
Over the road to watch China blow
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe
Ivan meet G.I. Joe

So you're on the floor, at fifty-four
Think you can last, at the palace
Does your body go, to the to and fro
Tonight's the night, or didn't you know
That Ivan meets G. I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
He tried his tricks, that ruskie bear
The United Nations said it's all fair
He did the radiation, he did the chemical plague
He could not win, with a cossacks spin
The Vostok bomb, the Stalin strike
He tried every move, he tried to hitch hike
He drilled a hole, like a Russian star
He made every move, in his repertoire
When Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G I. Joe
It's G.I. Joe's, turn to blow
He turned it on, cool and slow
He tried a payphone call, to the Pentagon
A radar scan, a Leviathan
He wiped the earth, clean as a plate
What does it take, to make a ruskie break?
But the crowd are bored, and off they go
Over the road, to watch China go
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
Ivan meets G.I. Joe
