Lyrics

[Intro] Yeow Yeow Yeow [Verse 1] 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 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 fate [Chorus] Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game [Verse 2] Stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the Tsar 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 Ah, what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game Aww yeah [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?" 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 reach Bombay [Chorus] Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name Oh yeah But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game Aww yeah (Uh, get down heavy!) [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Pleased to meet you, hope you'll guess my name Aww yeah But what's confusin' you is just the nature of my game Mmm 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 Mmm, yeah [Chorus] Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name Mmm, yeah But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game Mmm, mean it, get down [Outro w/Guitar Solo] Woo hoo! Aww yeah Get on down Oh yeah Ba bum bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, ba ba bum, yeah Ah yeah 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 Ooo hoo, ooo hoo, ooo hoo All right Ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo Ah yeah Ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo Ah, yes, what's my name? Tell me, baby, ah, what's my name? Tell me, sweetie, what's my name? Ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo Ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo, ooo hoo hoo Ah yeah What's my name...
