Lyrics

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming 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

But when his drinking and 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

"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 standing

Set a trap, they're not to blame

"Come to visit us", 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 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

Oh, those Russians
