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 ecstasy 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 cassock 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 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 til he was dead
oh those russians
