Rasputin

Boney M

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...,
