Rasputin

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flamin' 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 tsar

But the kozachok 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 he's drinkin' and lustin'

And hunger for power became known to more and more people

Their demands to do somethin' about this outrageous man

Grew louder and louder

Hey, hey

"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 standin'

Set a trap, they're not to blame

"Come to visit us" they kept demandin'

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 he 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

Wow-yeah

Oh, those Russians
