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 |
