The Lyrics
Dedicated to Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner Group for their actions in the Russia-Ukraine war earlier this year.
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That Wagner is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That Wagner is bound to get you,
War games, war games, war games, war games, war games...mmm...
(Female singer)
Wagner Steps,
Start in to fight, then soon, you’ll be fighting,
Wagner Steps,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
Through the Ukraine nation, (dee-de-oh!)
Putin, see,
Was the guy that stopped Prigozhin and his fleet,
Wagner Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Wagner Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll quit it at once,
Well, Prighozin’s history,
It’s the Wagner Steps!
(Vocal group)
Wagner Steps,
Start in to fight, then soon, you’ll be fighting,
Wagner Steps,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
Through the Ukraine nation, (doo-doo-do-doo,)
Putin, see,
Was the guy that stopped Prigozhin and his fleet,
Wagner Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Wagner Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll quit it at once,
Prighozin’s history,
It’s the Wagner Steps, whoa!
Wagner Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Wagner Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
Through the Ukraine nation, (doo-doo-do-doo,)
Putin, see,
Was the guy that stopped Prigozhin and his fleet,
Wagner Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Wagner Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll quit it at once,
Prigozhin’s history,
It’s the Wagner Steps, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That Wagner is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That Wagner is bound to get you,
War games, war games, war games, war games, war games...mmm...
