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 fate
I was around 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 time for a change I 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 But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
I watched with glee while your kings and queens Fought for ten decades for the gods they made I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedy's?" 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 guess my name But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal And all you 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
Hey, pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
