lived a certain man in Russia long ago
in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him
with terror and with fear
he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
But he also was the kind of teacher
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
He ruled the Russian land,
he danced really wunderbar
when he had a girl to squeeze
Though she heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he married on
But when his drinking and lusting
And his hunger for power became known
The demands to do something
about this outrageous man
don't you try to do it, please
and lots of hidden charms
they just fell into his arms
Set a trap they're not to blame
Come to visit us, they came demanding
lover of the Russian Queen
They put some poison into his wine
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said, I feel fine
lover of the Russian Queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
