Holdup
Hold-up - we approached you from around the corner
Hold-up - you bit off more than you could chew
It is now too late to make good your debt
Look at these stars, look at this sky
And at these roses and at this sea
You are seeing all this for the last time
Hold-up - you have rejected my advances
Hold-up - you loved the sound of money so much
You wore animal furs and crocodile-skin shoes
You made the bed for colonels and washed their feet before they sleep
You have forgotten the criminal world, now for that you will get knifed!
Hold-up - Simon, stick it under her ribs!
Hold-up - careful, don't break the knife
This underhand bitch has a cold heart
Call Hertz and he will perform a modern
Burial service which is popular in our synagogue
He will perform a modern burial service
Which is very popular in our synagogue
Hold-up - don't beg us for mercy!
Hold-up - And don't scream at the moon!
Better remember our cosy flat and the picture that Vass
Took of us that looked so good
Anyway, enough talking,
I forgive you everything, finish her off, Simon

While this song lyrics sound horrifyingly violent, this belongs to the class of songs known in Russia as chanson (or criminal songs). Somehow, in Russian, it doesn't sound nearly as serious (maybe the feeling you get is something like listening to Nick Cave's Murder Ballads) :)
