Bm
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
Em F# Bm
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
(Bm)
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
Em F# Bm
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
(Bm)
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Em F#
Full of ecstasy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacher
Em F# Bm
Women would desire
