Rasputin
A.M.P. Lyrics

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
Once upon a time in Russia there lived a man

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
He was physically large, muscular and had a fierce look in his eyes

Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
Many people were scared of him and found him intimidating

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
But the women in Moscow found him endearing and attractive

He could preach the Bible like a preacher Full of ecstasy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Women would desire
He was a gifted religious speaker and had a captivating charisma. Women were sexually attracted to him

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
Rasputin was known to be manipulative and women found him irresistible. He became notorious for his womanizing

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
He was influential and powerful in Russia. He was a good dancer and was popular in society. He was also charming with women

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
The queen knew of his womanizing but believed he had healing powers and could help her sick son

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
As the people became aware of his excessive drinking, womanizing, and quest for power, they became more and more vocal with their outrage

"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
His enemies wanted him gone but women were in love with him and begged for him to be spared. Despite his brutish nature, women found him irresistible

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
Some powerful men devised a plan to ensnare him. They invited him to visit them and he accepted

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"
The men poisoned him by putting poison in his wine. Despite the poison, he didn't feel any negative effects

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
The men, determined to be rid of him, then shot him dead

Oh, those Russians
Exclamation of disappointment or disbelief towards the Russians
