The Man Who Made Lenin's Gold Toilet
(tune: The man who shot liberty valance)

Back in the early Soviet days, when Lenin ran the zoo, the zoo
He wanted every citizen to have a golden loo
But the revolution kinda tied his hands,
And money was getting tight
The man that made Lenin's gold toilet,
He made Lenin's gold toilet
He was a Hong-Kong socialite

He grew up hearing all about the Comrade's gold commode, commode
He knew a golden toilet seat would meet the plumbing code
So he got good and rich from his jewelry shop,
And started to build his dream
The man that made Lenin's gold toilet,
He made Lenin's gold toilet,
To catch his clients' golden stream

Now if you go to Hong Kong town, you'll have to pay the price, the price
It isn't free to take a pee in toilets quite so nice
So you drop a cool thou in the jewelry shop,
And then you can pee in style
The man who built Lenin's gold toilet
He built Lenin's gold toilet
Now wears a gleaming golden smile

Everyone knows it don't come cheap
To make such a "pot" of gold
The man who made Lenin's gold toilet
He made Lenin's gold toilet
Can't keep the seat from feeling cold.
