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 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
Russias 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 shed heard the things hed done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russias greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
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
«This mans just got to go!» declared his enemies
But the ladies begged «Dont 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, theyre 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
Russias greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said «I feel fine»
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didnt quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russias greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

Lyrics
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes
Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
I shouldve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
Theres no comfort in the truth
Pain is all youll find
Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
I shouldve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe its better this way
Wed hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now whos gonna dance with me
Please stay
Im never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though its easy to pretend
I know youre not a fool
I shouldve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that Ive been given
So Im never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
Was what I did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
