    They had paint? Too bad the pics aren't in color.

    I think they had tinted lead, mostly in black.

    But even so, they all had a -- wait for it-- big Bloc!

    Rapid Ivan that people's car comrade

    He too much too believe

    You know he always got an extra pack of cigarettes

    Rolled up in his t-shirt sleeve

    He got a tattoo on his arm that say "леди"

    He got another one that just say "эй"

    But every sunday afternoon he is a snow track demon

    In a '57 Moskvich


    Rapid Ivan that people's car comrade

    most glorious driver in the motherland

    He say that he learned to race a UAZ

    By runnin' shine outta the Ukrain'

    Oh the demolition derby and the figure eight

    Is easy coupons in the pocket

    Compared to runnin' from the KGB

    In Khmelnytskyi With a 500 litre tank


    Yeah Ivan so cool, That racin' fool

    He don't know what fear's about

    He do a hundred thirty kliks an hour

    smilin' for the propoganda

    With a toothpick in his mouth

    He got a girl back home name of Aleksandra

    But he got honeys all along the way

    And you oughta hear 'em screamin'

    For that snow track demon

    In a '57 Moskvich

    Ivan was a racecar driver

    Drove so goddamn fast.

    Never did win no checkered flags

    But he never did come in last.

    Ivan was a racecar driver,

    He said Lenin number one.

    Ruslanova sticker on his Z-A-Z

    He'd light 'em up just for fun.

    @D-fktv: twice as defective with 2 followers!: That Lada with fender skirts is Lada VFTS, special rally version, with double Webers they got up to 200 hp out of 4 cyl, 8 valve Fiat engine from sixties which normally produced 50-80 hp, depending on engine size (1200-1600 cm3).
