A little musical tribute to the spiritual founder of Antifa, Alex Delarge. The words in quotes are part of Alex's "Nadsat" dialect and are all borrowed from the Mother Tongue ... so we can all get in some language practice as we sing and clap along, Oh my comrades



Hey Droog, dont make it glad
Take a hag's dong, use it to batter
Remember you used your "nozh" on poor Dim
That will make him
A little .. vengeful

Hey Droog, oh be afraid
There's a reason that "dom's" familiar
The minute he starts to play Ludwig Van
Begins his plan
To make you .. snuff it

And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Droog, refrain
Dont hurdle your "mozg" upon that sidewalk
For well you "vid" that it's a "gloop"
Who plays the dupe
By getting "tolchocked" by Dim's milk bottle

Hey Droog, you let Delt down
You've been spat on, now off to Staja
The minute you let them screw with your head
That's when you'll dread
To in and .. out her

So "smeck" it off and "peet" it in
Hey Droog, begin
You're waiting to "groam" Bill in the "yarbles"
And dont you know that you're just you
Hey Droog, "byez oom"
The "moloko" you need is at "Korova"

Хэй Друг, dont make it glad
Take a dance song, and make it brutal
The minute you let them fix up your head
Then you'll thank Fred
For making it ...
Horror, horror, horror, horror, horror, horror ... SHOW!!!

Nya, nya, nya, nya, NYA nya nya nya

I decided, upon shallow reflection, to include the outro of "Hey Droog" performed in the mother tongue …. using the very same lyrics that were sung by The Zhukovs in their legendary performance of "Hey Droog" at the ball celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Moscow.

Three extra helpings of equality, to be apportioned to each according to their wit, for any comrade who got that last joke ....
