Rasputin - Maxi Version

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

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

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

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar

(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 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

Hey, hey, 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 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
