rate me

There lived a certain man in russia long ago<br>He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow<br>Most people looked at him with terror and with fear<br>But to moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear<br>He could preach the Bible like a preacher<br>Full of ecstacy and fire<br>But he also was the kind of teacher<br>Women would desire<br><br>Ra ra rasputin<br>Lover of the russian queen<br>There was a cat that really was gone<br>Ra ra rasputin<br>Russia's greatest love machine<br>It was a shame how he carried on<br><br>He ruled the russian land and never mind the czar<br>But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar<br>In all affairs of state he was the man to please<br>But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze<br>For the queen he was no wheeler dealer<br>Though she'd heard the things he'd done<br>She believed he was a holy healer<br>Who would heal her son<br><br>Ra ra rasputin<br>Lover of the russian queen<br>There was a cat that really was gone<br>Ra ra rasputin<br>Russia's greatest love machine<br>It was a shame how he carried on<br><br>(spoken:)<br>But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger<br>For power became known to more and more people,<br>The demands to do something about this outrageous<br>Man became louder and louder.<br><br>This man's just got to go! declared his enemies<br>But the ladies begged don't you try to do it, please<br>No doubt this rasputin had lots of hidden charms<br>Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms<br>Then one night some men of higher standing<br>Set a trap, they're not to blame<br>Come to visit us they kept demanding<br>And he really came<br><br>Ra ra rasputin<br>Lover of the russian queen<br>They put some poison into his wine<br>Ra ra rasputin<br>Russia's greatest love machine<br>He drank it all and he said I feel fine<br><br>Ra ra rasputin<br>Lover of the russian queen<br>They didn't quit, they wanted his head<br>Ra ra rasputin<br>Russia's greatest love machine<br>And so they shot him till he was dead<br><br>(spoken:) oh, those russians...
