(Paint it black
Paint it black
Paint it black you devils)
Please allow me to introduce myself
Why 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, and I
Hope you guess-a my name, ah...
But what's been puzzling you
Is just the nature of-a my game, aw yeah

 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
A-when the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank, aw yeah

 A-'cause I'm pleased to meet you, and I
Hope you guess-a my name, aw baby
What's been puzzling you
Is just the nature of-a my game (aw baby)

 I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
A-for the Gods they made

 I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
A-when-a after all, after all
It was you and me

 A-well, let me please introduce myself
Why I'm a man of wealth and taste
Yes, and I, I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reach Bombay

 And I'm-a pleased to meet you baby
Hope you guess my name, ah yeah
And what's been puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game, oh wooo

 (Ad lib)

 Tell me baby
What's my name
Tell me sweetie
What's my name

 (Ad lib)
.
