Lyrics

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong and his eyes of flame did glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks, he was such a lovely dear
He could read 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 so bad how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the Kazachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state, he was the one 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
That could 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 so bad how he carried on
But when his drinking, his 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 and louder and louder!
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
All the men of state declared him his enemies
But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to hurt him, please"
Now this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
So they said, "Please don't make us fall into his arms"
Then one night some men of high standing
Laid a trap for the man they warned
"Come to visit" was what 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 still he felt 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
Rasputin
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 so bad how he carried on
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 so bad how he carried on
Hey, hey, hey, hey
