Visa for St Petersburg

To be read with "There's a Hole in my bucket dear Liza..." running through your mind.

So we need a visa, a visa, a visa,
so we need a visa for Saint Petersburg

So first get a letter, a letter, a letter,
so first get a letter from one who lives there.

We ring and arrange it, arrange it, arrange it,
we write and we email and soon it is done.

We must have a photo, a photo, a photo,
we must a photo but don't know the size.

So off to the office, the office, the office,
the office knows nothing so let's have a guess.

They fiddle and diddle and fumble and mumble,
they print us the copies and charge us the fee.

And now for insurance, insurance, insurance,
so health and all cameras but not kitchen sink.

Now tell us the serial, serial numbers,
and tell us all details and pay us the dough.

Then fill in the form, the form, the form,
and fill in the form and pay them more dough.

We add all the photos, the numbers and passports
attach all the copies and write out a cheque.

Now that's just for starters, for starters, for starters
we wait for the next bit and save up more dough.
