Janet Elizabeth Lyr ADD: We Are from Omsk (We make best bombsk) (36) RE: Lyr Req: We Are from Omsk (We make best bombsk) 20 Jan 13


This has been interesting to read. The version I sing is below. Chief characteristics are that the second line repeats the name of the town, Murmask in the town for Tanksk (note the extra k)

Vee are from Omsk
In Omsk vee make Bombsk
All ze best bomsk are commink from Omsk
In Omsk vee make ze best bombsk
Ze best bombsk are Omsk Bombsk
Over all the vorreld, ze very best bombsk are Omsk Bomsk.

Murmansk - Tanksk
(are)) Moscovites , Mocsovites make Satellites
Irkutsk - 'aircuts
Vladivostock - voolley bedsocks.

Ibelieve it was written by Dom Benedict in the 60's to highlight the absurdity of the fear that fuelled the Cold War.
