guitar, vocals: Valera Xrennikov bass guitar: Artem Livshits percussion: Vladimir Lazebny Rasputin (Boney M) There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people look 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 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 kazachok 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 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 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 ’til he was dead Oh, those Russians
