Lyrics

[00:57.28] There lived a certain man in Russia, long ago
[00:59.52] He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
[01:02.20] Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
[01:05.23] But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
[01:07.90] He could preach the Bible like a preacher
[01:11.38] Full of ecstasy and fire
[01:14.00] But he also was the kind of teacher
[01:16.83] Women would desire
[01:20.05] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[01:21.91] Lover of the Russian queen
[01:23.32] There was a cat that really was gone
[01:25.89] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[01:27.59] Russia's greatest love machine
[01:29.07] It was a shame, how he carried on
[01:31.66] He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
[01:48.54] But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
[01:51.07] In all affairs of state he was the man to please
[01:53.78] But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
[01:56.67] For the queen, he was no wheeler dealer
[01:59.74] Though she'd heard the things he'd done
[02:02.55] She believed, he was a holy healer
[02:05.92] Who would heal her son
[02:10.82] repeat
[02:23.42] But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
[02:26.08] For power became known to more and more people
[02:28.72] The demands to do something about
[02:31.04] This outrageous man became louder and louder
[02:34.43] "This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
[02:54.78] But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
[02:57.50] No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
[03:00.24] Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
[03:03.10] Then one night, some men of higher standing
[03:06.46] Set a trap, they're not to blame
[03:08.61] "Come to visit us", they kept demanding
[03:12.11] And he really came
[03:15.17] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[03:16.93] Lover of the Russian queen
[03:18.43] They put some poison into his wine
[03:21.06] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[03:23.34] Russia's greatest love machine
[03:24.59] He drank it all and said, "I feel fine"
[03:27.47] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[03:28.94] Lover of the Russian queen
[03:30.52] They didn't quit, they wanted his head
[03:33.06] Ra-Ra-Rasputin
[03:34.78] Russia's greatest love machine
[03:36.76] And so they shot him till he was dead
[03:40.60] Oh, those Russians
