He could preach the bible like a preacher
[hi kəd ˈpri:tʃ ðə ˈbaɪbl̩ ˈlaɪk ə ˈpri:tʃər]
Full of ecstasy and fire
[ˈfʊl əv ˈekstəsi ənd ˈfaɪər]
But he also was the kind of teacher

Women would desire

Ra Ra Rasputin
[ˈrɑ: ˈrɑ: ræsˈpjutɪn]
Lover of the Russian queen
[ˈlʌvər əv ðə ˈrʌʃən ˈkwi:n]
There was a cat that really was gone

Ra Ra Rasputin
[ˈrɑ: ˈrɑ: ræsˈpjutɪn]
Russia's greatest love machine
[ˈrəʃəz ˈɡreɪtəst ˈləv məˈʃin]
It was a shame how he carried on
[ˈɪt wəz ə ˈʃeɪm ˈhaʊ hi ˈkærid ɑ:n]
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
[hi ˈru:ld ðə ˈrʌʃən ˈlænd ənd ˈnevər ˈmaɪnd ðə ˈzɑ:r]
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
[bət ðə kʌzʌtʃɒk hi ˈdænst ˈrɪli vʊndərbɑr]
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
[ɪn ˈɒl əˈferz əv ˈsteɪt hi wəz ðə ˈmæn tə ˈpli:z]
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
[bət hi wəz ri:l̩ ˈɡreɪt ˈwen hi həd ə ˈɡɝ:l tə ˈskwi:z]
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
[fər ðə ˈkwi:n hi wəz ˈnoʊ ˈwi:lər ˈdi:lər]
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
[ˈðoʊ ʃid ˈhɝ:d ðə ˈθɪŋz hid ˈdən]
She believed he was a holy healer
[ʃi bəˈli:vd hi wəz ə ˈhoʊli ˈhi:lər]
Who would heal her son
[ˈhu: ˈwʊd ˈhi:l hər ˈsən]
Ra Ra Rasputin
[ˈrɑ: ˈrɑ: ræsˈpjutɪn]
Lover of the Russian queen
[ˈlʌvər əv ðə ˈrʌʃən ˈkwi:n]
There was a cat that really was gone
[ðər wəz ə kæt ðət ˈrɪli wəz ˈɡɒn]
Ra Ra Rasputin
[ˈrɑ: ˈrɑ: ræsˈpjutɪn]
Russia's greatest love machine
[ˈrəʃəz ˈɡreɪtəst ˈləv məˈʃin]
It was a shame how he carried on
[ˈɪt wəz ə ˈʃeɪm ˈhaʊ hi ˈkærid ɑ:n]
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
[bət ˈwen ɪz ˈdrɪŋkɪŋ ənd ˈlʌstɪŋ ənd ɪz ˈhʌŋɡər]
For power became known to more and more people,
[fər ˈpaʊər bɪˈkeɪm ˈnoʊn tə ˈmɔ:r ənd ˈmɔ:r ˈpi:pl̩]
The demands to do something about this outrageous
[ðə ˌdɪˈmændz tə də ˈsʌmθɪŋ əˈbaʊt ðɪs aʊˈtreɪdʒəs]
Man became louder and louder.
[ˈmæn bɪˈkeɪm ˈlaʊdər ənd ˈlaʊdər]
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
[ðɪs ˈmænz dʒəst ˈɡɑ:t tə ˈɡoʊ dɪˈklerd ɪz ˈenəmiz]
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
[bət ðə ˈleɪdiz ˈbeɡd ˈdoʊnt ju ˈtraɪ tə də ˈɪt, ˈpli:z]
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
[ˈnoʊ ˈdaʊt ðɪs ræsˈpjutɪn həd ˈlɑ:ts əv ˈhɪdn̩ ˈtʃɑ:rmz]
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
[ˈðoʊ hi wəz ə ˈbru:t ˈðeɪ dʒəst ˈfel ˌɪnˈtu: ɪz ˈɑ:rmz]
Then one night some men of higher standing
[ˈðen wʌn ˈnaɪt səm ˈmen əv ˈhaɪər ˈstændɪŋ]
Set a trap, they're not to blame
[ˈset ə ˈtræp, ˈðer ˈnɑ:t tə ˈbleɪm]
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
[ˈkəm tə ˈvɪzət əz ˈðeɪ ˈkept ˌdɪˈmændɪŋ]
And he really came
[ənd hi ˈrɪli ˈkeɪm]
Ra Ra Rasputin
[ˈrɑ: ˈrɑ: ræsˈpjutɪn]
Lover of the Russian queen
[ˈlʌvər əv ðə ˈrʌʃən ˈkwi:n]
They put some poison into his wine

Ra Ra Rasputin
[ˈrɑ: ˈrɑ: ræsˈpjutɪn]
Russia's greatest love machine
[ˈrəʃəz ˈɡreɪtəst ˈləv məˈʃin]
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"

Ra Ra Rasputin
[ˈrɑ: ˈrɑ: ræsˈpjutɪn]
Lover of the Russian queen
[ˈlʌvər əv ðə ˈrʌʃən ˈkwi:n]
They didn't quit, they wanted his head

Ra Ra Rasputin
[ˈrɑ: ˈrɑ: ræsˈpjutɪn]
Russia's greatest love machine
[ˈrəʃəz ˈɡreɪtəst ˈləv məˈʃin]
And so they shot him till he was dead

Oh, those Russians...
