BONEY M
Rasputin

There lived a sertain man
In Russia long ago,
He was big and strongh
And his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him
With terror and with fear,
But to Moskow chicks
He was such a lovely dear.
He could preach the bible like a preache's
Full of ectary and fire,
But he also was a kind of teacher
Women would desire.

Refrain:
Ran, Ran, Rasputin,
Lover of the russian queen,
There was a cat that really was gone,
Ran, Ran, Rasputin,
Russia's greatest love machine,
It was a shame how he carried on.

He was a Russian man
And newer mind the tzar,
But the "Kazachok"
He danced really wunderlat.
In all affairs of state
He was the man to please,
He was real great
When he had a girl to sqeeze.
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heart the things he'd done,
She belived he was a hoty pealer
Who would .. her son.

Refrain.

But when his drinking and lasting and hunder to power
Became known to more and more people,
The demands to do snith about this outrangeous man
Became louder and louder...

"This man's just got to do?" -
Declared his enemies
But the ladies legged:
"Don't you try to do it please"
Thogh he was a frute
They just feel in to his arms
Then one night some man
Of higher standing set a trap
"They're not to flame come to visit us"-
They rept demanding
And he volly came.

Ran, Ran, Rasputin,
Lover of the Russian queen,
They put some poison into his wine
Ran, Ran, Rasputin,
Lover of the Russian queen,
They didn't quiet, they wanted his head
Ran, Ran, Rasputin,
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead....

Oh, those Russians!

Rivers Of Babylon

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.

By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
there we sat down (You got to sing a song)
ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
when we remember Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
there we sat down (You hear the people cry)
ye-eah we wept, (They need that ???)
when we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)
