[00:51.54] There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

[00:53.73] He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow

[00:57.65] Most people look at him with terror and with fear

[01:01.32] But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

[01:05.53] He could preach the Bible like a preacher

[01:09.16] Full of ecstasy and fire

[01:13.00] But he also was the kind of teacher

[01:16.88] Women would desire

[01:20.51] RA RA RASPUTIN

[01:22.74] Lover of the Russian queen

[01:24.74] There was a cat that really was gone

[01:27.85] RA RA RASPUTIN

[01:29.76] Russia's greatest love machine

[01:32.30] It was a shame how he carried on

[01:52.63] He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar

[01:56.25] But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar

[02:00.17] In all affairs of state he was the man to please

[02:03.55] But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze

[02:07.71] For the queen he was no wheeler dealer

[02:11.66] Though she'd heard the things he'd done

[02:15.28] She believed he was a holy healer

[02:19.19] Who would heal her son

[02:23.10] RA RA RASPUTIN

[02:24.76] Lover of the Russian queen

[02:26.73] There was a cat that really was gone

[02:30.69] RA RA RASPUTIN

[02:32.40] Russia's greatest love machine

[02:34.65] It was a shame how he carried on

[02:42.41] But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger

[02:45.99] For power became known to more and more people

[02:49.33] The demands to do something about this outrageous

[02:52.68] Man became louder and louder

[03:17.82] "This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies

[03:21.41] But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"

[03:25.57] No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms

[03:28.91] Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms

[03:32.77] Then one night some men of higher standing

[03:36.69] Set a trap, they're not to blame

[03:40.88] "Come to visit us" they kept demanding

[03:44.23] And he really came

[03:48.08] RA RA RASPUTIN

[03:50.00] Lover of the Russian queen

[03:52.23] They put some poison into his wine

[03:55.54] RA RA RASPUTIN

[03:57.45] Russia's greatest love machine

[04:00.22] He drank it all and said "I feel fine"

[04:05.43] RA RA RASPUTIN

[04:07.14] Lover of the Russian queen

[04:09.42] They didn't quit, they wanted his head

[04:12.47] RA RA RASPUTIN

[04:14.67] Russia's greatest love machine

[04:17.16] And so they shot him till he was dead
