 [Verse] (Bbm Bbm D#m F-Bbm x2) - Bbm Bbm D#m F - Bbm Bbm D#m-F Bbm

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 [Chorus] Bb-C# D#-Bb

(There was a cat that really was gone)              G#-D# Bb

Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia's greatest love machine   (…/Bb)

(It was a shame, how he carried on)

                                                     [Riff]

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar  [Instru]

But the kasatschok, he danced really wunderbar   ╔═════════

In all affairs of state, he was the man to please   Boney

But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze   M.

For the queen, he was no wheeler dealer          ║ Rasputin

Though she'd heard the things he'd done          ╚═════════

She believed he was a holy healer - Who would heal her son

[Chorus] [Bridge - Spoken] (Bbm G# F#-Fm Bbm x2)

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                   [Riff] (Hey x32)

                                                   [Instru]

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

[Chorus] (They put some poison into his wine)

         (He drank it all and said I feel fine)    [Spoken]

[Chorus] (They didn't quit, they wanted his head) Oh, those

         (And so, they shot him 'til he was dead)  Russians
