Boney M. - Rasputin (Lyrics) 'There lived a certain man in Russia long ago' [Tik
[00:36.04] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[00:37.53] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[00:39.28] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[00:55.53] There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
[00:58.03] He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
[01:02.54] Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
[01:06.03] But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
[01:10.29] He could preach the Bible like a preacher
[01:13.53] Full of ecstasy and fire
[01:17.78] But he also was the kind of teacher
[01:21.53] Women would desire
[01:25.52] Ra ra Rasputin
[01:27.29] Lover of the Russian queen
[01:29.03] There was a cat that really was gone
[01:33.52] Ra ra Rasputin
[01:34.78] Russia's greatest love machine
[01:36.78] It was a shame how he carried on
[01:57.55] He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
[02:01.03] But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
[02:05.05] In all affairs of state he was the man to please
[02:08.78] But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
[02:13.03] For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[02:16.78] Though she'd heard the things he'd done
[02:20.53] She believed he was a holy healer
[02:24.04] Who would heal her son
[02:27.77] Ra ra Rasputin
[02:29.78] Lover of the Russian queen
[02:31.80] There was a cat that really was gone
[02:35.53] Ra ra Rasputin
[02:37.28] Russia's greatest love machine
[02:39.79] It was a shame how he carried on
[02:47.04] But when his drinking and lusting
[02:49.79] And his hunger for power
[02:51.54] Became known to more and more people
[02:54.53] The demands to do something
[02:56.30] About this outrageous man
[02:58.28] Became louder and louder
[03:00.81] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[03:02.78] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[03:05.03] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[03:07.29] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[03:23.04] "This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
[03:25.79] But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
[03:30.30] No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
[03:33.79] Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
[03:38.04] Then one night some men of higher standing
[03:41.29] Set a trap, they're not to blame
[03:45.53] "Come to visit us", they kept demanding
[03:49.29] And he really came
[03:53.29] Ra ra Rasputin
[03:54.80] Lover of the Russian queen
[03:57.07] They put some poison into his wine
[04:00.80] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:02.54] Russia's greatest love machine
[04:04.53] He drank it all and said, "I feel fine"
[04:10.53] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:12.06] Lover of the Russian queen
[04:14.04] They didn't quit, they wanted his head
[04:17.78] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:19.30] Russia's greatest love machine
[04:21.54] And so they shot him 'til he was dead
[04:28.03] Oh, those Russians
