There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

Full of ecstasy and fire

But the kasatschok he danced really wunderbar

In all affairs of state he was the man to please
Em F# Bm
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze

"This man' s just got to go," declared his enemies
Em F# Bm
But the ladies begged, "Don' t you try to do it, please"
( Bm)
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Em F# Bm
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms

Then one night some men of high standing
