Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a war going on
Out there somewhere
And Andrei isn't here
There's a war going on
Out there somewhere
And Andrei isn't here
[Verse 2]
There's a war going on
Out there somewhere
And Andrei isn't here
There's a war going on
Out there somewhere
And Andrei isn't here
[Verse 3]
Раз, два, три
And this is all in your program
You are at the opera
Gonna have to study up a little bit
If you wanna keep with the plot
[Verse 4]
'Cause it's a complicated Russian novel
Everyone's got nine different names
So, look it up in your program
We'd appreciate it, thanks a lot
[Verse 5]
Da, da, da
Da, da, da
Da, da, da
[Verse 6]
Natasha
[Verse 7]
Natasha is young
She loves Andrei with all her heart
[Verse 8]
She loves Andrei with all her heart
Natasha is young
And Andrei isn't here
[Verse 9]
Sonya is good
Natasha's cousin and closest friend
[Verse 10]
Natasha's cousin and closest friend
Sonya is good
Natasha is young
And Andrei isn't here
[Verse 11]
Marya is old school
A grand dame of Moscow
Natasha's godmother, strict yet kind
[Verse 12]
Natasha's godmother, strict yet kind
Marya is old school
Sonya is good
Natasha is young
And Andrei isn't here
[Verse 13]
And this is all in your program
You are at the opera
You're gonna have to study up a little bit
If you wanna keep with the plot
[Verse 14]
'Cause it's a complicated Russian novel
Everyone's got nine different names
So, look it up in your program
We'd appreciate it, thanks a lot
[Verse 15]
Da, da, da
Da, da, da
Da, da, da
[Verse 16]
Anatole
[Verse 17]
Anatole is hot
He spends his money on women and wine
[Verse 18]
He spends his money on women and wine
Anatole is hot
Marya is old-school
Sonya is good
Natasha is young
And Andrei isn't here
[Verse 19]
Hélène is a slut
Anatole's sister, married to Pierre

Dolokhov is fierce, but not too important
Anatole's friend, a crazy good shot
[Verse 22]
Anatole's friend, a crazy good shot
Dolokhov is fierce
Hélène is a slut
Anatole is hot
Marya is old-school
Sonya is good
Natasha is young
And Andrei isn't here
[Verse 23]
Chandeliers and caviar
The war can't touch us here
[Verse 24]
Minor characters
[Verse 25]
Old Prince Bolkonsky is crazy
And Mary is plain
Andrei's family totally messed up
And Balaga is just for fun
[Verse 26]
Balaga is just for fun
[Verse 27]
Balaga is fun
Bolkonsky is crazy
Mary is plain
Dolokhov is fierce
Hélène is a slut
Anatole is hot
Marya is old-school
Sonya is good
Natasha is young
And Andrei isn't here
[Verse 28]
What about Pierre?
Dear, bewildered, and awkward Pierre
What about Pierre?
Rich, unhappily married Pierre
[Verse 29]
What about Pierre?
What about Pierre?
What about Pierre?
