E D
Please allow me to introduce myself
A E add4
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 damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
B add4 add4 E add4
Pleased to meet you - hope you guess my name
add4 B add4 add4 E add4
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
I killed the Tzar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the Blitzkreig 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, ah yeah
(start "hoo hoo's")
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 lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game, ah yeah
*Solo* (verse)
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is 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, mm yeah
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, mm yeah
But what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game
Mmm, I mean it - get down
*Solo* (verse chords 'til fade)
(solo works in and out of rap)
Woo hoo, ah yeah - get on down, oh yeah
Mmmmm~ bump bump bump bump ba boom boom
Bump bump bump bump ba boom boom
Ah yeah, tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can you guess my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
What's my name?...
