Her Six Daughters Shootin With Rasputin
An intimate friend of the Czar was I A personal friend of the great Nikolai We practically slept in the same double bed It was I at the foot and he at the head (chorus) Shootin' with Rasputin Ate farina with Czarina Blintzes with the princes and the Czar Shootin' with Rasputin Ate farina with Czarina Sharing tea and herring round the samovar A friend of the Czar was I all his gracious life But friendlier still was I with his young wife We practically slept in the same double bed Till the Czar kicked me out And slept there instead (chorus) As the Red flag rose I bid Russia goodbye It was simply a case of Lenin or I And it all seems so distant it all seems so far From those glorious days hanging out with the Czar. (chorus)
