Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a
man of wealth and taste
I've
been around for a many long years
Stole
many a man's soul and faith
And I
was 'round 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. Petersburg
When
I saw it was a time for a change
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 yeah
Ah,
what's puzzling you
Is
the nature of my game, oh yeah
(Woo
woo, woo woo)
I
watched with glee
While
your kings and queens
Fought
for ten decades
For
the gods they made
(Woo
woo, woo woo)
I
shouted out,
"Who
killed the kennedys?"
When
after all
It
was you and me
(Who
who, who who)
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
(Woo
woo, who who)
Pleased
to meet you
Hope
you guessed my name, oh yeah
(Who
who)
But
what's puzzling you
Is
the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(Who
who, who who)
Pleased
to meet you
Hope
you guessed my name, oh yeah
But
what's confusing you
Is
just the nature of my game
(Woo
woo, who who)
Just
as every cop is a criminal
And
all the sinners saints
As
heads is tails
Just
call me Lucifer
'Cause
I'm in need of some restraint
(Who
who, who who)
So if
you meet me
Have
some courtesy
Have
some sympathy, and some taste
(Woo
woo)
Use
all your well-learned politesse
Or
I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
(Woo
woo, woo woo)
Pleased
to meet you
Hope
you guessed my name, um yeah
(Who
who)
But
what's puzzling you
Is
the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
(Woo
woo, woo woo)
Woo,
who
Oh
yeah, get on down
Oh
yeah
Oh
yeah
(Woo
woo)
Tell
me baby, what's my name
Tell
me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell
me baby, what's my name
I
tell you one time, you're to blame
Oh,
who
Woo,
woo
Woo,
who
Woo,
woo
Woo,
who, who
Woo,
who, who
Oh,
yeah
What's
my name
Tell
me, baby, what's my name
Tell

Woo,

Woo,
who, who
Woo,
who, who
Woo,
who, who
Woo,
who, who
Woo,
who, who
Oh,
yeah
Woo

Woo
woo.
