    Galina

    by: Leningrad Cowboys

    Galina, a hard working boatman
    But her husband, he was just too poor
    Galina, got fed up with the hard life
    So she nailed him to the bedroom floor
    Down and out she sailed into the mist
    Showing hairy breasts, and a giant fist
    Watch out you lousy men,
    cause now she's really pissed
    Galina, she is a crazy boatman
    Her daughters, they are crazy too
    Together, they sail across the ocean
    They are searching for love and new tattoos
    Up and down the coast they are raping men
    Plundering the villages, and raping again
    Spitting on the women, and stealing all they can
    Galina the pirate of the Baltic sea
    Scaring the sailors away
    Galina the mistress of misery
    Turning the blue skies to grey
    Galina, she is a crazy boatman
    An her daughters, they are crazy too
    Lang ago she sailed into the mist
    Showing hairy breasts and her giant fist
    Watch out you lousy men,
    cause she's still very pissed
    Galina the pirate of the Baltic sea
    Scaring the sailors away
