Please allow me to introduce myself,
A
E
I’m a man of wealth and taste
E
D
I’ve been around for long, long years
A
E
I’ve stolen many a man’s soul and faith
E
D
I was around when Jesus Christ
A
E
had his moments of doubt and pain
E
D
I made damn sure that Pilate
A
E
washed his hands and sealed his fate
B
Pleased to meet you,
E
hope you guess my name,
B
but what’s puzzling you,
E
is the nature of my game
E
D
I stuck around St. Petersburg
A
E
when I saw it was time for a change
E
D
I killed the Czar and his ministers,
A
E
Anastasia screamed in vain
E
D
I rode a tank, held a gen’ral’s rank,
A
E
when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
B
Pleased to meet you,
E
hope you guess my name,
B
but what’s puzzling you,
E
is the nature of my game
E
D
I watched with glee while your kings and queens,
A
E
fought for ten decades for the gods they made
E
D
I shouted out “Who killed the Kennedys?”,
A
E
when after all it was you and me
E
D
So let me please introduce myself,
A
E
I am a man of wealth and taste
E
D
And I lay traps for troubadours,
A
E
who get killed before they reach Bombay
B
Pleased to meet you,
E
hope you guess my name,
B
but what’s puzzling you,
E
is the nature of my game
E
D
Just as every cop is criminal,
A
E
and all the sinners, Saints
E
D
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer,
A
E
’cause I’m in need of some restraint
E
D
So if you meet me, have some courtesy,
A
E
have some sympathy and some taste
E
D
Use all your well-learned politesse,
A
E
or I’ll lay your soul to waste
B
Pleased to meet you,
E
hope you guess my name,
B
but what’s puzzling you,
E
is the nature of my game
