Lyrics

[00:05.41] Rasputin
[00:31.55] There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
[00:35.24] He was big and strong' in his eyes a flaming glow
[00:39.10] Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
[00:43.03] But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
[00:46.96] He could preach the bible like a preacher
[00:51.10] Full of ecstacy and fire
[00:54.10]
[00:55.04] But he also was the kind of teacher
[00:58.97] Women would desire
[01:01.57]
[02:00.50] There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
[02:04.07] He was big and strong' in his eyes a flaming glow
[02:07.62] Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
[02:11.56] But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
[02:14.81] He could preach the bible like a preacher
[02:19.43] Full of ecstacy and fire
[02:22.17]
[02:23.18] But he also was the kind of teacher
[02:26.92] Women would desire
[02:29.41]
[02:30.72] Ra ra rasputin
[02:32.67] Lover of the Russian queen
[02:34.53] There was a cat that really was gone
[02:38.34] Ra ra rasputin
[02:40.21] Russia"s greatest love machine
[02:42.20] It was a shame how he carried on
[02:47.33]
[03:10.68] He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
[03:14.23] But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
[03:17.61] In all affairs of state he was the man to please
[03:21.48] But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
[03:25.35] For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[03:29.47] Though she"d heard the things he"d done
[03:32.29]
[03:33.28] She believed he was a holy healer
[03:37.29] Who would heal her son
[03:39.42]
[03:40.85] Ra ra rasputin
[03:42.73] Lover of the Russian queen
[03:44.60] There was a cat that really was gone
[03:47.97] Ra ra rasputin
[03:50.34] Russia"s greatest love machine
[03:52.27] It was a shame how he carried on
[03:57.47]
[03:59.96] But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power became known to more and more people'
[04:06.70]
[04:07.45] the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder.
[04:13.14]
[04:43.24] "This man"s just got to go!" declared his enemies
[04:46.79] But the ladies begged "Don"t you try to do it' please"
[04:50.30] No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
[04:54.10] Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
[04:58.27] Then one night some men of higher standing
[05:02.09] Set a trap' they"re not to blame
[05:04.97]
[05:05.89] "Come to visit us" they kept demanding
[05:09.70] And he really came
[05:12.52]
[05:13.58] Ra ra rasputin
[05:15.39] Lover of the Russian queen
[05:17.32] They put some poison into his wine
[05:21.07] Ra ra rasputin
[05:22.94] Russia"s greatest love machine
[05:24.93] He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"
[05:30.17]
[05:30.74] Ra ra rasputin
[05:32.49] Lover of the Russian queen
[05:34.36] They didn"t quit' they wanted his head
[05:38.17] Ra ra rasputin
[05:40.05] Russia"s greatest love machine
[05:42.17] And so they shot him till he was dead
[05:47.47]
[05:48.22] Oh' those Russians...
