Not much, I'm afraid...

Deep knee down in a russian mine
I'm gonna tell you about comrade Boris
and of his tragic demise
mineral diggin' a rock at a time

Boris was no friend of mine
Boris was no friend of mine
he would leave for once in a while
he was nowhere to be found

One day, Boris body was found
stuck inside the biggest diamond
known to mankind, still alive

Boris was no friend of mine
Boris was no cool at all
he was silent yet, at times
he could talk for all day long

He was an example, for his comrades
work and work and work, the way of life.
What if he could make it out alive
richer than a Czar on the rise?

Boris was no friend of mine
Boris was no smart at all
5 long years no diamond in sight
wasn't sad his destiny?
