Sympathy For The Devil / The Rolling Stones

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 

	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 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 

	Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name 
	But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game 

(whoo whoo, whoo whoo) 

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 reached Bombay 

	Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name
	But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
	
	Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name
	But what's confusing you, is the nature of my game 

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

	Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name
	But what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game

Woo, woo

Tell me baby, what's my name 
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name 
Tell me baby,  what's my name 
I tell you one time,  you're to blame
