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 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
She believed, he was a holy healer
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

'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 till he was dead

Oh, those Russians
