There lived a certain man in Russia long ago |
|
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow |
|
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear |
|
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear |
|
He could preach the bible like a preacher |
|
Full of ecstacy and fire |
|
But he also was the kind of teacher |
|
Women would desire |
|
Ra ra rasputin |
|
Lover of the Russian queen |
|
There was a cat that really was gone |
|
Ra ra rasputin |
|
Russia"s greatest love machine |
|
It was a shame how he carried on |
|
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar |
|
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar |
|
In all affairs of state he was the man to please |
|
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze |
|
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer |
|
Though she"d heard the things he"d done |
|
She believed he was a holy healer |
|
Who would heal her son |
|
Ra ra rasputin |
|
Lover of the Russian queen |
|
There was a cat that really was gone |
|
Ra ra rasputin |
|
Russia"s greatest love machine |
|
It was a shame how he carried on |
|
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power became known to more and more people, |
|
the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder. |
|
"This man"s just got to go!" declared his enemies |
|
But the ladies begged "Don"t you try to do it, please" |
|
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms |
|
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms |
|
Then one night some men of higher standing |
|
Set a trap, they"re not to blame |
|
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding |
|
And he really came |
|
Ra ra rasputin |
|
Lover of the Russian queen |
|
They put some poison into his wine |
|
Ra ra rasputin |
|
Russia"s greatest love machine |
|
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine" |
|
Ra ra rasputin |
|
Lover of the Russian queen |
|
They didn"t quit, they wanted his head |
|
Ra ra rasputin |
|
Russia"s greatest love machine |
|
And so they shot him till he was dead |
|
Oh, those Russians... |
