Party Like A Russian
Attracting controversy upon its release in 2016, there was no choice of single more perfect than Party Like A Russian to herald the arrival of The Heavy Entertainment Show, Robbie's eleventh studio album. Released alongside a suitably lavish promotional video, the song samples Sergei Prokofiev's Montagues and Capulets, or as Robbie would have it, "The Apprentice theme tune".
Listen to Party Like A Russian
Lyrics
It takes a certain kind of man with a certain reputation
To alleviate the cash from a whole entire nation
Take my loose change and build my own space station
(Just because you can, man)
Ain't no refutin' or disputin' I'm a modern Rasputin
Subcontract disputes to some brutes in Louboutin
Act highfalootin' while my boys put the boot in
(They do the can-can)
Spasibo
Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you've got concussion, oh
Put a doll inside a doll
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian, oh
Have it like an oligarch
I got Stoli and Bolly and Molly, so I'm jolly
And I'm always off my trolley, so I never say sorry
There's a doll, inside a doll, inside a doll, inside a dolly
(Hello, Dolly)
I put a bank inside a car, inside a plane, inside a boat
It takes half the western world just to keep my ship afloat
And I never ever smile unless there's something to promote
I just won't emote
Spasibo
Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you've got concussion, oh
We've got soul and we've got gold
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian, oh
Have it like an oligarch
Раз, два, три, четыре
We're the Russian boys, we're everywhere
There's revolution in the air!
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you've got concussion, oh
Put a doll inside a doll
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian, oh
Have it like an oligarch
