Verse
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
Chorus 1
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

Verse
He ruled the Russian land and
never mind the Tsar
But the kasatschok 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
Chorus 1
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

(Spoken underneath the above chords)
"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".

Verse
"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 high
standing
Set a trap - they're not to
blame
"Come to visit us," they kept
demanding
And he really came
Chorus 2
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"
Chorus 3
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
(Spoken) Oh, those Russians...
