John B. Wells, host of Caravan to Midnight here on Rumble, has played this song several times, so I looked it up. -Pretty amazing, epic production! I'd never seen any Robbie Williams music vids or heard of him at all before I started listening to John's show (https://rumble.com/user/JohnBWellsCTM).
Robbie has a clean, strong voice - I think his 'Tripping' is good too, many of the others I'm not attracted to. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g52Uh9wmqZg

"Party Like A Russian"

Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

It takes a certain kind of man with a certain reputation
To alleviate the cash from a whole entire nation
Take my loose change and build my own space station
(Just because you can, man)
Ain't no refutin' or disputin' I'm a modern Rasputin
So contract disputes to some brutes in Louboutin
Act highfalootin' while my boys put the boots in
(They do the can-can)
(Spasibo!)

Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you've got concussion, oh
Put a doll inside a doll
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian, oh
Have it like an oligarch

Oh oh oh oh (hey)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

I've got Stolly and Bolly and Molly, so I'm jolly
And I'm always off my trolley, so I never say sorry
There's a doll inside a doll inside a doll inside a dolly
(Hello, Dolly)
I put a bank inside a car inside a plane inside a boat
It takes half the Western world just to keep my ship afloat
And I never ever smile unless there's something to promote
I just won't emote
(Spasibo!)

Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you've got concussion, oh
We've got soul and we've got gold
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian, oh
Have it like an oligarch

Raz, dva, tri, chetyre
We're the Russian boys, we're everywhere
There's revolution in the air
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Party like a Russian
End of discussion
Dance like you've got concussion, oh
Put a doll inside a doll
Party like a Russian
Disco seduction
Party like a Russian, oh
Have it like an oligarch
