Rasputin

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 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

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

(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

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 he said "I feel fine"

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

Oh, those Russians

[@Elmar_Velihanov] Adınızdan azərbaycanlı olduğunuz fərz edirəm, bu təqdirdə, xahiş edirik, bir daha mahnı əlavə edəndə, mahnının saytda əvvəlcədən olub olmadığını yoxlayın (həmçinin müğənninin də).
