There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
E F#7 Bm
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow
Bm
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
E F#7 Bm
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
Bm
He could preach the Bible like a preacher
Bm
Full of ecstasy and fire
Bm
But he also was the kind of teacher
E
Women would desire
