Ra Ra Rasputin Lyrics

Ra Ra Rasputin

 Boney M

 

 {First Verse}

 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 ecstacy and fire

 But he also was the kind of teacher

 Women would desire

 

 Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey...[for about 30 seconds]

 

 {Repeat verse 1, faster and in a lower key}

 

 {Refrain}

 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 kasachok 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

 

 {Refrain}

 

 (Spoken:) [In what I would call a Richard "I am not a crook' Nixon voice]

 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.

 

 Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

 Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

 

 "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

 

 {As Refrain}

 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 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

 

 (Spoken:) Oh, those Russians...
