Lyrics

Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for many long year Stole many a man's soul and fate I was 'round when Jesus Christ Had his moments of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is just the nature of my game I stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change I killed the Tsar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank, held a General's rank When the Blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name What's puzzling you Is just the nature of my game I watched the glee while your kings and queens Fought for ten decades for the Gods they made I shouted out: "Who killed the Kennedys?" When after all it was you and me So let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah But what's puzzling you Is just the nature of my game, oh yeah Come on down Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Now what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game, yeah Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails and call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint And if you meet me, have some courtesy Have some sympathy and some taste Use all your well learned politics Or I'll lay your soul to waste Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is just the nature of my game Woo hoo, yeah, come on Get down with it, yeah Tell me, baby, what's my name? Tell me, baby, guess my name Tell me, baby, what's my name? Tell me, baby, guess my name, yeah
