Emne: [SEELANGS] Russian version of Beatles "Yellow Submarine"



Does anyone happen to have the text of a Russian parody of this Beatles
song, which was apparently popular amongst students in Prague in the 70s?

It began: "U menya veliky plan" - ? ???? ??????? ???? - and the chorus was:
"Ya postroyu zhelty parokhod" - ? ??????? ?????? ???????.

I want to use it as a fun example of future perfectives. Would be grateful
if anyone can remember it.
