(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
|
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
|
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
|
I watched with 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
|
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 guessed my name, oh yeah
|
But what's puzzling you
|
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
|
Pleased to meet you
|
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
|
But what's confusing you
|
Is just the nature of my game
|
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
|
So if you meet me
|
Have some courtesy
|
Have some sympathy, and some taste
|
Use all your well-learned politesse
|
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
|
Pleased to meet you
|
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
|
But what's puzzling you
|
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
|
Woo, who
|
Oh yeah, get on down
|
Oh yeah
|
Oh yeah!
|
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
|
Ooo, who
|
Ooo, who
|
Ooo, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|

What's me name
|

|
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Ooo, who, who
|
Oh, yeah
