Compared to me, all conjurors are small and hollow.
They池e all just little fish and hardly worth a dime.
Get me one railroad ticket, please, to Monte Carlo,
I will disturb their hustlers in no time!
I will resist their pretty ladies, all temptations.
Once I catch sight of the roulette, I値l be on track.
Their dealers will be on their knees, in full attention,
And I will take the train and be right back.
In Monte Carlo, I値l see all the arenas.
I値l play the reds, the blacks, both colors work of course.
There will be nothing left in their casinos
Except the famous tables covered with green cloth.
I will return back home with many new impressions:
I値l drink their cocktails, listen to the modern bands,
And all their currency - the pile in my possession -
I will deposit in the Soviet bank.
I知 telling you all this without a hint of laughter.
No time for jokes - death row, I hope I知 understood.
But I am sure if you review this urgent matter,
I値l do my state and motherland some good!
