Lyrics

You will pray For a stay Of good fortune … Tio-tio-tio-tio-tinx The platform of the ten Tio-tio-tio-tinx The Tsektran ran And planned the train It’s measures got it running again … Tio-tio-tio-tio-tinx It meant a consistent Planning operation … Tio-tio-tio-tio-tinx You will pray For a stay Of good fortune … But you’d find it hard To say when

Tio-Tio-Tio-Tinks is what the Birds say in Aristophanes’ play. This song laments the failure of Trotsky. But the Dictatorship of the Proletariat entails some marginal mockeries and Trotsky is implicated in some of these. (Another song, written at the same time, was a lament for the Kronstadt mutineers.)
