(An Ukrainian Song)
So, I heard about old Vladimir Putin,
What in his drink did someone put in?
He dropped some good bombs on old Ukraine,
He's giving the whole world migraine.
Thought we were past this stage again,
But history repeats herself again,
Not over until the fattie sings,
Chaos to the world the big man brings,
When shall we find reprieve?
The fattie sings
Like a grumpy old man,
We thought age was wise,
And white hairs sage:
But this one is in rage,
A world he wants to save,
And some people subjugate.
We saw the clouds in Kyiv,
Crisis in Dynamo,
Take the world to Guantanamo,
Danke, Thanks, Arigato—
This is not make-believe,
When shall we find reprieve?
What is wrong within Ukraine?
Is a wise man mad,
Or is this the new fad?
All eyes upon Russia,
Ladies and gentlemen,
This is Rush Hour.
