Grigor Rasputin - !!!NEW!!!

Getting close to Christmas so here's a Christmassy parody... of sorts. Well, it's inspired by the Muppet Christmas Carol but it's subject is a lot less Christmassy

Ebenezer Scrooge Grigor Rasputin not by The Muppets

A cold winter in Russia
(Can) freeze you to the bone
But that didn’t stop this young
charismatic monk
(From) making a grab for the throne
He thought if he got close to the
Tsarina he would rule
But he didn’t think of
Felix Yusupov
And his Russian noble friends (oh)
Resolute to class
They won’t let it pass
They will make sure his life ends

Oh, what’s happened to Rasputin
What have they done to him
They gave him poisoned wine to drink

He didn’t feel its sting

They fed him poisoned cupcakes too

And gaped as it did nothing

They tried then to shoot him down

But this didn’t work on him

What’s happened to Rasputin
What have they done to him
After he had been shot down then
He was soundly beaten
Even after all of this
He seemed to yet linger on
(Was) Tied up and thrown in a river
To ensure that he was gone

He’d wanted to be rich
He’d wanted some power
But his uncouth ways
Meant that this soon turned sour
He came to the aid of poor young Alexi
You’d think that this selfless feat
would save his life-
Naaaah! uh-uh

What’s happened to Rasputin
What have they done to him
He had the Tsar under his thumb
Who depended on him
He attracted women who flocked ea-

gerly to his steeple
No question of his credentials
No hope for all those people
 

What’s happened to Rasputin
What have they done to him
Didn’t survive
That fateful night
They meant to do him in
Gained the fame he’d craved but did not

look where he did tread
And now at last he’s paid the price
'Cause Rasputin is dead

(Yes) Nowaday
In every way
Rasputin is dead
