    • 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 preacher
      Full of ecstasy and fire
      But he also was the kind of teacher
      Women would desire

      Ra ra Rasputin
      Lover of the Russian queen
      There was a cat that really was gone
      Ra ra Rasputin
      Russia's greatest love machine
      It was a shame how he carried on

      He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
      But the kazachok 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 dealer
      Though she'd heard the things he'd done
      She believed he was a holy healer
      Who would heal her son

      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 outrageous man
      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 standing
      Set a trap, they're not to blame
      "Come to visit us", they kept demanding
      And he really came
