Satirical look at the political situation in Ukraine from December 2004 to now to the tune of an old traditional Ukrainian dance song.

To the tune of the merry Oy ta duna duna duna dayna Kolomeyka.

The revolutionaries kolomeyka!

Once there was a business man
Who fixed his own election
Then they had a revolution
Tried to change direction

All Ukraine was then united
Round a simple song
That said corruption was the countries
Biggest single wrong.

Yushchenko became the leader
In this situation
Tymoshenko’s speeches made them
Heroes of the nation

Yanukovych failed to trick them
With his dirty plan and
Then he was renamed
The nations biggest bogey man

Yushchenko then said that the
Corruption hasn’t gone then
Sacked his government
And said that this cant carry on

Tymoshenko was the highest
Profile in the sacking
Some say that she made her millions
With some dodgy backing.

With her sacking she’d become
A lady unprotected
She could be arrested now that
She had been rejected.

So she turned her charms to Putin
Russia’s leading man and
Said he's not that bad at all
A really clever plan

Now he’s said “we’ll drop the charges
You are not detested.
If you visit Russia now
You will not be arrested”


Yushchenko is similar
In choosing his new friends. He
Has a new prime minister
A Russian to the end.

Kutchma’s given Yushchenko
And Yanukyvych blessing
Looks as if those arguments
Were only window dressing

Nice to see the clans are pals
And all are shaking hands now.
Its just difficult for us
To fully understand

Makes you wonder whats the point
And whose behind these plans or
Was the revolution just a
Switch between the clans?

There were demonstrations on the
Streets just last December
Difficult for anyone in
Office to remember?

You’ve all kept your millions
And there’s no one there to blame
If the country changes now
Or if it stays the same!
