Song: ivan the terrible
ivan the terrible, ivan the great
ivan the fearesome, ivan the dreaded czar
ruler of the land, ruler of the sea
enemy of the rich, friend to the poor
named his son ivan, that's no surprise
then he killed him, that's filicide
threw all his cats, off the kremlin roof
threw all his dogs, off there too
beat up his daughter-in-law, when she was with child
that made her have a miscarriage, well he's just that kind of guy
when he died he was playing chess, some say he was killed
poisoned by mercury, or maybe it was the syphillis
