Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long
Stolen many man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had
His moment 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 the nature of my game
I stuck around St
When I saw it was a time for a change
I killed the czar 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
Oh
Is the nature of my game
I watched with glee as your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades for the Gods they made
I shouted out
When after all
So let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners
As heads is tails
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
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 guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Tell me baby
Tell me honey
Tell me honey
What's my name?
Tell me sweetie
