Rasputin

Boney M

6

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming 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 preacherFull of ecstacy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacherWomen would desireRa ra rasputin

Lover of the Russian queenThere was a cat that really was goneRa ra putin

Russia's greatest love machineIt was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar

But the kasachok 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 dealerThough she'd heard the things he'd done

She believed he was a holy healerWho would heal her sonRa Ra Rasputin

Lover of the Russian queenThere was a cat that really was goneRa Ra Rasputin

Russia's greatest love machineIt was a shame how he carried on

But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger

For power became known to more and more people

The demands to do something about this outrageousMan became louder and louder.

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 standingSet a trap, they're not to blame

"Come to visit us" they kept demandingAnd he really cameRa Ra Rasputin

Lover of the Russian queenThey put some poison into his wineRa Ra Rasputin

Russia's greatest love machineHe drank it all and he said "I feel fine"

Ra Ra RasputinLover of the Russian queenThey didn't quit, they wanted his head

Ra Ra RasputinRussia's greatest love machine

And so they shot him till he was dead

Oh, those Russians...,
