Ribbons Of Blue

Their 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 extasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Woman 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 Russianland
And never mind the Czar
But the Kasatschok he danced really wunderbar
All affairs of state
He was the man to please
But he was real great when he hand a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she heard the thing's he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son.

Ra-Ra-Rasputin
lover of the Russian queen
...

But when his drinkin' and lusting
and his hunger for power
Became know to more and more people
The demans to do something about this outrageous man became
Louder and louder

Hey
hey
hey...

This man just gotta go
Declared his enemies
But the ladies begged don't you try to do it please
No doubt this Rasputin
Had lots of hidden charmes
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 do 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 till he was dead.

Oh
those Russians
