There Bmlived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was Embig and strong, in hisF# eyes a flaminBmg glow
BmMost people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to EmMoscow chicks he wasF# such a lovelBmy dear
BmHe could preach the bible like a preacher
EmFull of ecstasy andF# fire
BmBut he also was the kind of teacher
EmWomen F#wouldBm desire

AIt was aE shame howB he carried on

He Bmruled the Russian land and never mind the Tsar
But the Emkasatschok he dancedF# really wundBmerbar
BmIn all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was Emreal great when heF# had a girl tBmo squeeze
BmFor the queen he was no wheeler dealer
EmThough she'd heard the things he'dF# done
BmShe believed he was a holy healer
EmWho wouldF# heal heBmr son
BRa Ra RaDsputin, Elover of theB Russian queen
AThere was aE cat thatB really was gone

"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 Bmman's just got to go," declared his enemies
But the Emladies begged, "Don't youF# try to do itBm, please"
BmNo doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he Emwas a brute they justF# fell into hiBms arms
BmThen one night some men of high standing
EmSet a trap - they're not toF# blame
Bm"Come to visit us," they kept demanding
EmAnd heF# reallBmy came

AThey didn't quit,E they wanted hBis head
BRa Ra RDasputin, RussiEa's greatest love machineB
AAnd so theyE shot hiBm till he was dead
BmOh, those Russians...
