[Verse 1]
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
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
[Chorus]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game
[Verse 3]
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?"
Yeah, 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 Bombay
[Chorus]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game
Oh yeah, get down
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's confusin' you is just the nature of my game, oh yeah
[Verse 4]
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, yeah, woo
[Chorus]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name, aw yeah
But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game, aw yeah
[Outro]
Get down
Woo-hoo, aw yeah
Oh yeah, get down, woo
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, yeah
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da, woo
Tell me, baby, woo
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, honey, can you guess my name?
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
I'll tell you one time, you're to blame
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
Woo, alright
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo, oh yeah (Woo)
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Oh yeah, ah
What's my name?
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?
Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
Woo-hoo-hoo
