St. Petersburg Is Gloomy!
St. Petersburg Is Bleak!
My underwear got frozen standing here all week!
Oh, since the revolution our lives have been so gray!
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 street?
Although the Czar did not survive
One daughter may be still alive!
The Princess Anastasia!
But please do not repeat!
It's a rumor
A legend
A mystery!
Something whispered in an alleyway
Or through a crack!
It's a rumour
That's part of our history.
Featured video
They say her royal grandmama
Wil pay a royal sum
To someone who can bring the princess back!
[Black Markeeter #1] A ruble for this painting!
It's Romanov, I swear!
[Black Marketeer #2] Count Yusopov's pajamas!
Comrade, buy the pair!
[Black Marketeer #3] I got this from the palace
It's lined with real fur!
It could be worth a fortune
If it belonged to her!
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 Paree!
Imagine the reward her dear old Grandmama will pay!
Who else could pull it off but you and me?
We'll be rich
We'll be rich!
We'll be out!
We'll be out!
And St. Petersburg will have some more to talk about!
SSH!
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
Comrade, what do you suppose?
A fascinating mystery!
The biggest con in history!
The Princess Anastasia
Alive or dead...
Who knows? Shh!
