[A] [E]
Please allow me [D] to introduce myself.
[A] I'm a man of [E] wealth and taste.
I've been around [D] for a long, long year.
[A] So many a man's [E] soul and faith.
And I was around [D] when Jesus Christ [A] had his moment of [E] diamond pain.
Made damn sure [D] that Pilate [A] washed his hands and [E] sealed his fate.
[B] Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed my [E] name.
[B] But what's puzzling you is the nature of [E] my game.
I stuck around [D] St.
Petersburg [A] when I saw it was time [E] for a change.
Killed the Tsar [D] and his ministers.
[A] Anastasia [E] screaming.
I rode a tank, [D] held a general's rank, [A] when the blitzkrieg raged [E] and the bodies stank.
[B] Pleased to meet you.
Hope you guessed [E] my name.
But [B] what's puzzling you is the nature of [E] my game.
I watched with glee [D] while you kings and queens fought [A] for ten decades.
[E] For the gods they made shouted out who killed [D] the Kennedys.
[A] When after all it [E] was you and me.

So if you meet me, [D] have some courtesy.
Have [A] some sympathy.
[E] Have some taste.
Use all your well [D]-learned politesse [A] or I'll lay your [E] soul to waste.
