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 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 hear 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

"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 RASPUTINE Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTINE Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said, "I'll be fine"

RA RA RASPUTINE Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTINE Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

Oh, those Russians...
