Lyrics

[00:03.61] Rasputin
[00:15.42]
[00:29.99] There lived a certain man
[00:31.85] In Russia long ago
[00:33.39] He was big and strong
[00:35.36] In his eyes a flaming glow
[00:37.62] Most people looked at him
[00:39.45] With terror and with fear
[00:41.07] But to Moscow chicks
[00:42.90] He was such a lovely dear
[00:45.32] He could preach the bible like a preacher
[00:49.06] Full of ecstacy and fire
[00:52.95] But he also was the kind of teacher
[00:56.67] Women would desire
[01:00.24]
[01:56.18] There lived a certain man
[01:57.89] In Russia long ago
[01:59.38] He was big and strong
[02:01.18] In his eyes a flaming glow
[02:03.33] Most people looked at him
[02:05.15] With terror and with fear
[02:06.69] But to Moscow chicks
[02:08.57] He was such a lovely dear
[02:10.84] He could preach the bible like a preacher
[02:14.46] Full of ecstacy and fire
[02:18.23] But he also was the kind of teacher
[02:21.80] Women would desire
[02:25.45] Ra Ra Rasputin
[02:27.30] Lover of the Russian queen
[02:29.34] There was a cat that really was gone
[02:32.79] Ra Ra Rasputin
[02:34.65] Russia's greatest love machine
[02:36.79] It was a shame how he carried on
[02:41.42]
[03:03.91] He ruled the Russian land
[03:05.54] And never mind the czar
[03:07.24] But the kasachok
[03:08.96] He danced really wunderbar
[03:11.08] In all affairs of state
[03:12.92] He was the man to please
[03:14.61] But he was real great
[03:16.31] When he had a girl to squeeze
[03:18.72] For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[03:22.17] Though she'd heard the things he'd done
[03:25.88] She believed he was a holy healer
[03:29.74] Who would heal her son
[03:33.11] Ra Ra Rasputin
[03:35.08] Lover of the Russian queen
[03:37.23] There was a cat that really was gone
[03:40.52] Ra Ra Rasputin
[03:42.39] Russia's greatest love machine
[03:44.63] It was a shame how he carried on
[03:49.62]
[03:51.87] (Spoken)But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power
[03:56.22] Became known to more and more people
[03:59.03] The demands to do something about this outrageous man
[04:02.70] Became louder and louder.
[04:04.55]
[04:33.57] This man just got to go
[04:35.31] Declared his enemies
[04:36.88] But the ladies begged
[04:38.70] Don't you try to do it please
[04:40.85] No doubt this Rasputin
[04:42.53] Had lots of hidden charms
[04:44.30] Though he was a brute
[04:45.92] They just fell into his arms
[04:48.33] Then one night some men of higher standing
[04:51.81] Set a trap they're not to blame
[04:55.52] Come to visit us they kept demanding
[04:59.27] And he really came
[05:02.81] Ra Ra Rasputin
[05:04.68] Lover of the Russian queen
[05:06.94] They put some poison into his wine
[05:10.29] Ra Ra Rasputin
[05:12.16] Russia's greatest love machine
[05:14.19] He drank it all and he said I feel fine
[05:19.48] Ra Ra Rasputin
[05:21.37] Lover of the Russian queen
[05:23.23] They didn't quit they wanted his head
[05:26.76] Ra Ra Rasputin
[05:28.71] Russia's greatest love machine
[05:30.83] And so they shot him till he was dead
[05:36.68] (Spoken) Oh those Russians...
