Boney M. - Rasputin (Lyrics) _There lived a certain man in Russia long ago_ [TikTok Song](MP3_320K)
[00:56.41] There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
[00:58.91] He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
[01:03.16] Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
[01:06.66] But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
[01:10.91] He could preach the bible like a preacher
[01:14.66] Full of ecstasy and fire
[01:18.41] But he also was the kind of teacher
[01:22.16] Women would desire
[01:25.91] Ra ra Rasputin
[01:27.66] Lover of the Russian queen
[01:30.16] There was a cat that really was gone
[01:33.66] Ra ra Rasputin
[01:35.66] Russia's greatest love machine
[01:37.66] It was a shame how he carried on
[01:58.41] He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
[02:01.66] But the cassock he danced really wunderbar
[02:06.16] In all affairs of state he was the man to please
[02:09.16] But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
[02:13.41] For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[02:17.16] Though she'd heard the things he'd done
[02:21.16] She believed he was a holy healer
[02:24.91] Who would heal her son
[02:28.66] Ra ra Rasputin
[02:30.66] Lover of the Russian queen
[02:32.41] There was a cat that really was gone
[02:36.16] Ra ra Rasputin
[02:37.91] Russia's greatest love machine
[02:40.16] It was a shame how he carried on
[02:47.91] But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
[02:50.91] For power became known to more and more people
[02:54.91] The demands to do something about this outrageous
[02:58.41] Man became louder and louder
[03:23.91] This man's just got to go, declared his enemies
[03:26.66] But the ladies begged, don't you try to do it, please
[03:30.91] No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
[03:34.16] Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
[03:38.90] Then one night some men of higher standing
[03:42.15] Set a trap, they're not to blame
[03:46.16] Come to visit us they kept demanding
[03:49.90] And he really came
[03:53.65] Ra ra Rasputin
[03:55.65] Lover of the Russian queen
[03:57.65] They put some poison into his wine
[04:01.40] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:03.15] Russia's greatest love machine
[04:05.40] He drank it all and said, I feel fine
[04:10.90] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:12.90] Lover of the Russian queen
[04:14.90] They didn't quit, they wanted his head
[04:18.15] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:20.40] Russia's greatest love machine
[04:22.65] And so they shot him 'til he was dead
[04:27.90] Oh, those Russians
