” I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die Rag ” (Ukrainian Version)

Well, come on all you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
Got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Ukrainia
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We’re gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
The next stop’s Ukrainia;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.

Now come on Wall Street, don’t be slow,
Why man, this war’s a go-go
There’s plenty of good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Ukrainians.

And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
The next stop’s Ukrainia;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let’s move fast;
Your big chance is here at last.
Now you can go out and fill`em full of lead
‘Cause the only good Russian is one that’s dead
You know that peace can only be won
When we’ve blown ’em all to kingdom come.

And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
The next stop’s Ukrainia;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.

Now come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your child off to Ukrainia.
Come on fathers don’t hesitate
Send your own off before it’s too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your kid come home in a box.

And it’s one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
The next stop’s Ukrainia;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.
