Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year Stole many a man's soul and faith I was 'round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made **** sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzlin' you Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg 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 blitzkieg raged And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah But what's puzzlin' you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee As 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 troubadors Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's puzzlin' you Is the nature of my game

Just as every cop's a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy and some taste Use all you well-learned politesse Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed me name, oh yeah But what's puzzlin' you Is the nature of my game Oh yeah
