**Verse 1:** There are *muzhiks* and there are *gentlemen* Why do women in the modern world call them so, what's the reason then?! In words, in deeds — it's clear without a sound! A *gentleman* is status, a *muzhik* is love that's true and found! **Chorus:** A *gentleman* is smart, he's rich, he's strong and masterful! A *muzhik* is just right there, he's solid as a piece of flint! He'll lend a shoulder when your heart is aching, it's a fact. A *gentleman* will pet the world, but at home his wife gets hit! A *muzhik* is just right there, he doesn't seek a prize or fame! He strives to build a home, to live on his last dime. **Verse 2:** A *gentleman* is a brand, a glossy pose, He looks down on the world from his nose. He lacks a simple question for happiness to grow, And in his heart, there's nothing but woe. A *muzhik* has working hands, he smells of honest toil, He knows exactly how to drive a nail. He builds his world, he doesn't count the soil, He loves you, but he will not make you frail. **Chorus (Repeat):** A *gentleman* is smart, he's rich, he's strong and masterful! A *muzhik* is just right there, he's solid as a piece of flint! He'll lend a shoulder when your heart is aching, it's a fact. A *gentleman* will pet the world, but at home his wife gets hit! A *muzhik* is just right there, he doesn't seek a prize or fame! He strives to build a home, to live on his last dime. **Verse 3:** A *gentleman* is just a picture, an empty shop display, Where feelings are locked up and kept away. A *muzhik* is Russian, kind and strong, With whom no storm can do you wrong. He might be rough, and simple, and unseen, But in the bitterest moment of your life, He'll be a woman's pillar, standing strong and keen, And give her all the warmth of his true light.
