Rumor in St. Petersburg lyrics
Saint Petersburg is gloomy
/ Saint Petersburg is bleak
/ My underwear got frozen standing here all week
/ Since the Revolution our lives have been so grey
/ Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day
/ Have you heard there's a rumor in Saint Petersburg?
/ Have you heard what they're saying on the street?
/ Although the Tzar did not survive,
/ One daughter may be still alive.
/ The Princess Anastasia
/ But please do not repeat
/ It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery
/ Something whispered in an alleyway or through a crack
/ It's a rumor that's part of our history
/ They say her royal grandmamma will pay a royal sum
/ To someone who can bring the princess back
/ DIMITRI: Vlad!
/ VLADIMIR: Dimitri.
/ A rouble for this painting
/ It's Romanov, I swear
/ Count Yusupov's pyjamas, comrades, buy the pair
/ I got this from the palace, it's lined with real fur
/ It could be worth a fortune if it belonged to her
/ VLADIMIR: Well, Dimitri, I got us a theatre.
/ DIMITRI: Everything's going according to plan. All we need is the girl. Just think, Vlad, no more forging papers, no more stolen goods. We'll have three tickets out of here: One for you, one for me and one for Anastasia.
/ It's the rumor, the legend, the mystery
/ It's the Princess Anastasia who will help us fly
/ You and I, friend, will go down in history
/ We'll find a girl to play the part and teach her what to say
/ Dress her up and take her to Paree
/ Imagine the reward her dear old grandmamma will pay
/ Who else could pull it off but you and me?
/ We'll be rich
/ We'll be rich
/ We'll be out
/ We'll be out
/ And Saint Petersburg will have some more to talk about
/ Have you heard there's a rumor in Saint Petersburg?
/ Have you heard what they're saying on the street?
/ Have you heard there's a rumor in Saint Petersburg?
/ Have you heard? Comrades, what do you suppose?
/ A fascinating mystery
/ The biggest con in history
/ The Princess Anastasia
/ Alive or dead?
/ Who knows?
