Lyrics

Paint it black, pain it black
 Paint it black, you devils
 ♪
 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 to waste
 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, well I
 Hope you guess my name
 What's been puzzling you
 Is just the nature of my game, oh yeah
 I 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
 Pleased to meet you
 And I hope you guess my name, oh yeah
 What's been puzzling you
 Is just the nature of my game, oh baby
 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, after all it was you and me
 I want, 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, baby
 Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
 What's been puzzling you
 Is just the nature of my game, oh whoa
 ♪
 Oh-hoo, oh yeah
 Oh yeah, alright
 Tell me, baby, what's my name
 Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
 Oh, yeah, oh yeah
 Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
 Ooh-hoo, yeah
 Oh, get on down
 Get on down, get on down
 Get down, come on down, come on down
 Oh yeah, better get down
 Yeah
 ♪
 Aw, I gotta move
 Ah, get on down
 Ah, get on down
 Gotta come
 ♪
 You doin' alright?
 Have a good time
