Rasputin

Boney M

1. There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
   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 ecstacy and fire
   But he also was the kind of teacher
   Women would desire

R: 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

2. He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
   But the kasachok 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
   Who would heal her son

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.

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
   
R: 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"
   
R: 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

Oh, those Russians...
