Rasputin

by Boney M
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong with his eyes of flaming gold
Most people looked at him with terror and fear
But to the Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher, full of ecstasy and bile
But he was also the kind of teacher females 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 moved to Russia land
And never mind the czar
But wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real
To the Queen he was no real
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy leader


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 his 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

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

"This snake has got to go" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "don't you try to do it please"
Rasputin and charm
So he was a brute they just fell into his arms
But then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap
Come to visit, as they kept him 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

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 until he was dead

Oh, those Russians
