Bare minumum

Verse 1:
An American dog, bold and free,
Has traveled the world, as we can see.
He’s drunk all drinks, been to each bar,
Seen everyone, asked dates near and far.
Verse 2:
One day he glanced at the world map wide:
“I’m only missing Russia,” he sighed.
“I’ll strut in a fur hat, charm them all,
Conquer beauties and stand tall.”
Chorus:
Our John set off to Russia’s land,
As if we’d asked him, planned by hand.
His eyes fell on Anya, bright and fair,
He asked her out without a care.
Verse 3:
Did he ask if she was free,
Had a man or a family?
But Anya gave her Telegram,
A move that made his heartbeat slam.
Bridge:
A chat today, tomorrow the vow,
Lives intertwined, if fate allows.
But marriage is dull, cramped, and dry,
Compared to a U.S. passport, oh my!
Chorus:
Give me that, I’ll say, “Thanks, dear,”
And change my world, without a tear.
But if you ask me out for coffee
On a cold day, then know this softly:
Verse 4:
Prepare yourself, my dear young man,
To have your mind turned upside down.
I don’t need the bare minimum, no,
With you, life should glow and grow.
Verse 5:
Will you pay for my courses? My nails too?
A massage session, and trips with a view?
Where will you take me for sun and sand?
I dream of Malibu, you of Crimea’s land.
Outro:
With you, our paths just don’t align,
I’ll order my Bloody Mary, divine,
While you rattle in a third-class seat,
To Koktebel, your humble retreat.
