Rasputin

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

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flamin' 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 tsar
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 he's drinkin' and lustin'
And hunger for power became known to more and more people
Their demands to do somethin' about this outrageous man
Grew louder and louder

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 standin'
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demandin'
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 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 'til he was dead

Wow-yeah
Oh, those Russians
