| [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 |
