It's sad that there's no news from my old friends.
In my soul, my heart is empty.
It's not fun being in such a rut.
An old Army friend stopped by and it was great, but he left.
Oh yo yo yo yo yo
Oh yo yo yo yo yo
A neighbor drank himself silly. There's a strike at his factory,
I only have one pack of tea left, and that spells trouble.
There's a note in the kitchen "Do not wait up, I'm staying at Galya's",
On TV they're all dressed so nice. How should I go on living? I'm sick of it all.
Oh yo yo yo yo yo
Oh yo yo yo yo yo
Soon when the lake freezes hard enough, I'll go ice fishing
and whatever I catch, I'll share with my friends. It won't be bad.
The moon rises and keeps climbing higher and higher in the sky,
And with all my might, I'll howl at the top of my lungs, but no one will hear.
Oh yo yo yo yo yo
No one will hear
Oh yo yo yo yo yo
No one will hear
