Anastasia
Текст песни Rumor In St. Petersburg

DEEP VOICED MAN:
St. Petersburg is gloomy

OLD LADY:
St. Petersburg is bleak

FREEZING MAN:
My underwear got frozen
Standing here all week

TOWNSPEOPLE:
Oh, since the revolution
Our lives have been so grave!
Thank goodness for the gossip
That gets us through the day
Hey!

Have you heard?
There's a rumor in St. Petersburg
Have you heard?
What they're saying on the streets

MAN:
Although the Czar did not survive
One daughter may be still alive!

TOWNSPEOPLE:
The princess Anastasia!

MAN:
But please do not repeat!

TOWNSPEOPLE:
It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery
Something whispered in an alleyway
Or through a crack
It's a rumor thats part of our history

SNEAKY LADY:
They say her royal grand-mama
Will pay a royal sum

TOWNPEOPLE:
To someone who can bring the princess back!

MALE DEALER:
A ruble for this painting
It's Romanov, I swear!

FEMALE DEALER:
Count Yusopov's pajamas
Comrades, buy the pair

MALE DEALER 2:
I got these from the palace
It's lined with real fur

DIMITRI & DEALERS:
It could be worth a fortune
If it belonged to her

DIMITRI:
It's the rumor
The legend, the mystery
It's the Princess Anastasia
Who will help us fly
You and I friend
Will go down in history!

We'll find a girl to play the part
And teach her what to say
Dress her up and take her to Paris
Imagine the reward her dear old grand-mama will pay
Who else could pull it off but you and me?
We'll be rich!

VLAD:
We'll be rich!

DIMITRI:
We'll be out!

VLAD:
We'll be out!

BOTH:
And St. Petersburg will have some more to talk about

TOWNS PEOPLE:
Shh!
Have you heard there's a rumor in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard what they're saying on the street?

Hey! hey! hey!

Have you heard there's a rumor in St. Petersburg?
Have you heard? Comrades, what do you suppose?
A fascinating mystery

DIMITRI:
The biggest con in history!

TOWNS PEOPLE:
The Princess Anastasia
Alive or dead?

MAN:
Who knows?
Shh!
