Soon Our Tanks Will Sing

European countries have pledged to supply Ukraine with 100 Leopard-2 tanks, like the ones here, training in Germany.

Springtime is our time

Until then, we abide

And hold the line

This Ukraine of mine

Spending time in muddy fields

As winter wanes to spring

Rains are easing, soon dry out

Then our tanks will sing

Russia drafted 300,000 men

For a hurried winter offensive

Ukraine consolidated logistics

And hunkered down defensive

Now, Russia’s offensive has stalled

Culminated, as they say

Tides are turning

Soon will be our day

A Russian general wants to draft more soldiers

But from where has he awoken

You can’t rebuild an army overnight

The Russian Army is broken

They’ve got no gear to fit more troops

Armor’s running low

The Russian Army proves the point

Corruption takes a toll

Peacetime Russians love to graft

On rich military contracts

Skimp on training, shoddy production

Now the Army is failing en masse

But boo hoo hoo, got things to do

Gonna drive our tanks to the east

Dip our toes in the Sea of Azov

Then turn right and on to Crimea

Russian troops don’t know why they fight

Despite their leaders’ insistence

We Ukrainians know the deal

We fight for our existence

The Russian Army is spent and wasted

Putin will not be our king

Our reserve forces tune their instruments

And soon our tanks will sing
