Boney M. - Rasputin (Sopot Festival 1979)
[00:55.52] There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
[00:58.98] He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
[01:02.96] Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
[01:06.41] But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
[01:10.66] He could preach the bible like a preacher
[01:14.65] Full of ecstasy and fire
[01:18.37] But he also was the kind of teacher
[01:22.10] Women would desire
[01:25.79] Ra ra Rasputin
[01:27.91] Lover of the Russian queen
[01:30.04] There was a cat that really was gone
[01:33.50] Ra ra Rasputin
[01:35.61] Russia's greatest love machine
[01:37.75] It was a shame how he carried on
[01:58.19] He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
[02:01.65] But the cassock he danced really wunderbar
[02:05.89] In all affairs of state he was the man to please
[02:09.08] But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
[02:13.33] For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[02:17.06] Though she'd heard the things he'd done
[02:20.78] She believed he was a holy healer
[02:24.76] Who would heal her son
[02:28.47] Ra ra Rasputin
[02:30.34] Lover of the Russian queen
[02:32.73] There was a cat that really was gone
[02:35.91] Ra ra Rasputin
[02:38.04] Russia's greatest love machine
[02:40.16] It was a shame how he carried on
[02:47.60] But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
[02:51.05] For power became known to more and more people
[02:55.04] The demands to do something about this outrageous
[02:58.23] Man became louder and louder
[03:23.73] 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
[03:30.90] No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
[03:34.09] Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
[03:38.34] Then one night some men of higher standing
[03:42.31] Set a trap, they're not to blame
[03:46.04] Come to visit us they kept demanding
[03:49.76] And he really came
[03:53.48] Ra ra Rasputin
[03:55.60] Lover of the Russian queen
[03:57.73] They put some poison into his wine
[04:01.29] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:02.89] Russia's greatest love machine
[04:05.28] He drank it all and said, I feel fine
[04:10.60] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:12.45] Lover of the Russian queen
[04:14.58] They didn't quit, they wanted his head
[04:18.03] Ra ra Rasputin
[04:20.16] Russia's greatest love machine
[04:22.55] And so they shot him 'til he was dead
[04:27.60] Oh, those Russians
