Lirik:

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar

But the kazachok 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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge: Newsreader]

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!

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

"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

[Chorus]

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 till he was dead

[Outro]

Oh, those Russians....
