Russian Military Badges Songtext
She fills a box of matches
With Russian military badges
To sell in tiny packets
To pin on vintage jackets

I'd call it a racket

She sings like she on a mountain
Three coins in a fountain
The day is now amountin'
To three dollars and countin'
But who's counting?

She felt so nice I only washed my hands twice
She felt so nice I only washed my hands twice

Once when she called herself Madge
I laughed so hard and stuck my hand
With the pin from a badge
The blood wasn't red

I bought a box of matches
Filled with Russian military badges
That I'll never pin on a jacket
The girl is quite a racket

The girl is a racket
