Verse:
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
Chorus 1:
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

Verse:
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
But the kasatschok 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
Chorus 1:
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

{Spoken underneath the above chords}
"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".

Verse:
"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 high standing
Set a trap - they're not to blame
"Come to visit us," they kept demanding
And he really came
Chorus 2:
Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
()
Ra Ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said "I feel fine"
Chorus 3:
Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
()
Ra Ra Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
{Spoken} Oh, those Russians...
