Composers: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

Lyrics:
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

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

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

Woo, woo
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Woo, woo
Woo, woo

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah!
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, aah yeah
Get down, hit it

Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah!
But what's confusin’ you is just the nature of my game, mmm yeah!

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 guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, mmmmm mean it
Get down

Aaaaaah yeah, get on down, oh yeah
Aaaaah yeah, tell me baby, what’s my name
Tell me honey, can you guess my name
Tell me baby, what’s my name
Tell you one time, you’re to blame
Aaaaah yeah, what’s my name
Tell me baby, what’s my name
Tell me sweetie, what’s my name
