(the song to the tune of ” Rasputin”)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
There lives a certain man born fifty years ago.
He is big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow.
And he likes to hunt and skin apart a deer,
so for all of us, he is such a lovely dear.
He can touch in people their best feelings.
and can build a fire.
But he also helps to reach the ceilings,
women would desire.
Matt, Matt, Matt, Matvey
celebrates with us today,
there’s no cat that really was gone.
Matt, Matt, Matt, Matvey
had his own glory way.
It was nice how he carried on!
When the Russian horde came here, rude and tough,
he met face to face and bravely fell in love.
And on the wedding night, his friends fell into shock,
and they all were drunk and dancing kozachok.
Hey, the Royal Lily’s such a pretty bloom,
and Mathew was a very handsome groom.
And all girls were crying like a screecher
when they watched his morning runs.
They believed he was a holy teacher
for their own sons.
Matt, Matt, Matt, Matvey
celebrates with us today,
there’s no cat that really was gone.
Matt, Matt, Matt, Matvey
had his own glory way.
It was nice how he carried on!
But when he was growing and growing, and his upcoming birthday
Became known to more and more people
The demands to do something for this gorgeous man
Became louder and louder.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Once they lived with hens, who brought an egg or two.
And all those chicks – they used to love him, too.
And he lives in love, like any Russian czar
starting each new day with vodka and caviar.
And about beer, he begins to think
that with no vodka, it’s a useless drink.
Then all men thought he was outstanding,
and for wives, he had the fame.
“Come to visit us,” – they kept demanding,
and he really came.
Matt, Matt, Matt, Matvey
will be very drunk today.
They changed with vodka all his wine.
Matt, Matt, Matt, Matvey,
he had no words to say.
He drank it all and said, “I feel fine.”
Hey, hey, hey, Matvey,
a birthday drink is on the way.
And we don’t quit till all it’s gone.
Hey, hey, hey, Matvey,
celebrates with us today.
And all have shots, and they are having fun!
Oh, those Russians!
