Kiev University for Market Relations

Wants to greet you and to say

That we are glad to see and hear you

And we hope that you are okay.

We would like to tell you truly

We are waiting for the EU

We agree and we are ready fully

To join you, and behave like you.

Broadening the borders widely

You will become the number one

And no one can threaten or hurt you

And can go against none.

All the members of new Europe

Will be stronger day by day

And economy and trading

Is increasing every day.

All the countries of old Europe

Someday we will join you

And the democratic union

Will become the great EU.

All the fields of economics

Will be prosperous and rich

And all world of trading

Leaders will cooperate with each other.

GDP will quickly grow and

People wealthy will become.

There will be no famine, hunger

No diseases, not much harm.

Children will be gay and happy,

Nobody will break the law;

There will be no thieves, no gangsters

And no killers anymore.

Peace and clam will rule and prosper,

All the nations friendly'll be,

Human rights will be followed strictly

And all people will be free.

Now we would like to ask some questions

Understanding thoughts of thee

And we will listen, to your answers

Then we will either agree or disagree.
