Song by The Rolling Stones
Lyrics
Yow, yow
Yow Mm-huh Mm-uhPlease 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 fatePleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name But what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my gameStuck 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 stankPleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name Oh, yeah Ah, what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my game Oh, yeahI watched with glee while your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades for the gods they made I shouted out, “Who killed the Kennedys?” Well, 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 reach BombayPleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name Oh, yeah But what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my game Oh, yeah A-get down, babyPleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name Oh, yeah But what’s confusing you Is just the nature of my game Mm, yeahJust 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, mm, yeahPleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name Mm, yeah But what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my game Mean it Get downWoo-hoo
Ah, yeah Get on down Oh, yeah Mm Bum, ba-bum, bum, bum, ba-bum Ba-bum, bum, bum, ba-bum Bum, ba-bum, bum, bum, ba-bum Bum, dum, bum, bum, ba-dum, da Yeah Ah, yeahTell me, baby, what’s my name?

I’ll tell you one time, you’re to blame Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo Ooh-hoo, alright Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo Ooh-hoo-hoo, ah, yeah Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo Ah yes, what’s my name?
