There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
       MIm                    FA#            SIm
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
     
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
       MIm                  FA#           SIm
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
                                   
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
MIm                 FA#
Full of ecstasy and fire
SIm                         
But he also was the kind of teacher
MIm   FA#     SIm   
Women would desire

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
        MIm                FA#          SIm                
But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar

In all affairs of state he was the man to please
       MIm                    FA#           SIm
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
                          
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
MIm                                FA#
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
SIm                           
She believed he was a holy healer
MIm       FA#      SIm
Who would heal her son

Parlato:
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

SIm        FA#m SIm        FA#m
Hey...
SIm        FA#m SIm        FA#m

      SIm
"This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
        MIm
But the ladies begged, 
           FA#           SIm
"don't you try to do it, please"

No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
          MIm                    FA#           SIm
Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
   
Then one night some men of higher standing
MIm                        FA#
Set a trap, they're not to blame
 SIm               
"Come to visit us", they kept demanding
MIm    FA#    SIm
And he really came

SI    RE
Ra ra Rasputin
MI           SI
Lover of the Russian queen
LA             MI     SI
 They put some poison into his wine
      RE
Ra ra Rasputin
MI                SI
Russia's greatest love machine
LA           MI      SI
 He drank it all and said, "I feel fine"
      RE
Ra ra Rasputin
MI           SI
Lover of the Russian queen
LA           MI         SI
 They didn't quit, they wanted his head
      RE
Ra ra Rasputin
MI                SI
Russia's greatest love machine
LA           MI        SI
 And so they shot him 'til he was dead

SIm
 Oh, those Russians
