Lyrics
I'm Kubla Kraus

I'm king of all the Cossacks

But are no Cossacks to be king of

There's the Rub

There's the Rub. There's the Rub

I'm Kubla Kraus

I could've been a pharaoh

But there are no pyramids around here

There the Rub

There's the Rub. There's the Rub.

There's the Ra-ha-ha-ub. Rub-ba-dub-dub-rub

I rule with an iron hand

I get what ever I demand

I own the people and the land

So why is it I'm not happy? I don't understand

I'm Kubla Kraus

I could've been a Rajah

But there are no elephants around here

There's the Rub

There the Rub. There the Rub

I'm Kubla Kraus

I could've been a shogun

But there are no samarai around here

There's the Rub

There's the Rub. There's the Rub

There's the Ra-ha-ha-ub. Rub-ba-dub-dub-rub

There's the Rub. There's the Rub

There's the Ra-ha-ha-ub. Rub-ba-dub-dub-rub
