[00:20.950]{MOLOKOV & DIPLOMATS}
[00:23.000]No one can deny that these are difficult times
[00:27.940]No one can deny that these are difficult times
[00:32.010]{MOLOKOV, spoken}
[00:32.230]Miss Vassy
[00:32.590]{FLORENCE, spoken}
[00:32.950]Mr. Molokov
[00:33.170]{SOVIET DIPLOMATS}
[00:33.600]It's the U.S. versus U.S.S.R
[00:36.960]Yet we more or less are
[00:38.520]{AMERICAN DIPLOMATS}
[00:38.740]No one can deny that these are difficult times
[00:42.440]{SOVIET DIPLOMATS}
[00:42.660]To our credit putting all that aside
[00:45.470]We have swallowed our pride
[00:47.980]{AMERICAN DIPLOMATS}
[00:48.200]These are very dangerous and difficult times
[00:51.920]{FLORENCE}
[00:52.460]It really doesn't matter
[00:54.720]Who comes on top
[00:56.080]{MOLOKOV}
[00:56.300]Who gets the chop
[00:57.500]{MOLOKOV & DIPLOMATS}
[00:57.720]No one's way of life is threatened
[01:00.160]By a flop!
[01:03.820]But we're going to smash that bastard
[01:06.350]Make him wanna change his name
[01:09.340]Take him to the cleaners and devastate him
[01:11.840]Wipe him out, humiliate him
[01:14.170]We don't want the whole world saying
[01:16.070]"They can't even win a game."
[01:18.630]{WALTER}
[01:18.850]We have never reckoned
[01:19.990]On coming second
[01:21.170]{MOLOKOV}
[01:21.380]There's no use in
[01:24.910]Losing
[01:27.020]It's the red flag up against stars and stripes
[01:30.490]But we're peace-loving types
[01:31.900]{DIPLOMATS}
[01:32.110]No one can deny that these are difficult times
[01:35.970]{FLORENCE}
[01:36.190]It's a sweet hail-fellow-well-met affair
[01:39.440]{WALTER}
[01:39.660]For both eagle and bear
[01:41.170]{DIPLOMATS}
[01:41.390]These are very dangerous and difficult times
[01:45.580]{MOLOKOV}
[01:45.800]For those that say that
[01:47.430]This is not a friendly clash
[01:49.580]Don't be so rash
[01:50.960]I assure you, comrades
[01:52.990]That is balderdash
[01:57.040]{MOLOKOV & DIPLOMATS}
[01:57.260]What a load of whingeing peasants!
[01:59.500]Thinking they can win--they can't!
[02:02.350]What an exhibition of self-delusion
[02:04.700]This one's a forgone conclusion
[02:06.960]{MOLOKOV & SOVIET DIPLOMATS}
[02:07.180]But enough of all this beating
[02:09.460]Round the bushes of detente
[02:11.810]We intend to collar the Yankee dollar
[02:14.530]We shall thrash them!
[02:17.700]{ALL}
[02:17.910]Trash them!
[02:22.980]{MOLOKOV}
[02:23.220]How good to feel that
[02:24.910]As this great event begins
[02:27.660]It underpins
[02:31.550]Our quest for peace
[02:33.210]The bonds of common interest
[02:36.700]Of East and West
[02:40.660]{ALL}
[02:40.880]As long as our man wins
[02:48.300]As long as our man wins!
