SING IT to the tune of Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond)

Where it began
With Putin’s dreams of grandeur
Waged a war at NATO’s front door

History shows
Don’t appease a big bully
They will just want more and more

Drones
MacGyver’d drones
In the sky
Buzzing by, saving lives

Stand with Ukraine
Putin’s war crimes are no good
He picked a fight
But Zelenskyy stood his ground
So now the

War slogs along
U.S. support is fickle
Based on whims of the White House pickle

And when we hear
The latest Kremlin peace ploy
We know what’s really going on

Greed
Unchecked greed
Minerals and oil
Ports and land, it never ends

Stand with Ukraine
Putin’s war crimes are no good
He picked a fight
But Zelenskyy stood his ground
So now we

Stand with Ukraine
Putin’s war crimes are no good
He picked a fight
But Zelenskyy stood his ground

Stand with Ukraine
Putin’s war crimes are (shout) no good!
(Shout) Stand with Ukraine!
