D#m
She wanted to test her husband
 G#7sus4    B6            D# 
She knew exactly what to do
  Bmaj7       A#m7
A pseudonym to fool him
G#m7           C#          D# 
She couldn't have made a worse move

She sent him scented letters
And he received them with a strange delight
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears

G#m7           C#              D# 
And how she was before the years flew by
G#m7          C#             G#7sus4
And how she was when she was beautiful
B
She signed the letter

Chorus:
D#m   C#sus4 
All yours
  G#m7         D#        G#m7
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya
D#m   C#sus4 
All yours
  G#m7         D#        G#m
Babooshka, babooshka, babooshka ya ya

She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito

And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady

Capacity to give him all he needs
Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out:

Chorus:
"I'm all yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya"

Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya
Babooshka-ya-ya
Babooshka
Babooshka
Babooshka
Babooshka
