Sympathy For The Devil
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Yo!..... Yo!...... Yo!
Woo Good!.... Woo!
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 at 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, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ah yeah!
I watched in glee (woo! woo!) while your kings and
queens (woo! woo!)
Fought for ten decades (who who) for the gods they made (woo! woo!)
I shouted out, (woo! woo!)
"Who killed the Kennedys?" (who who!)
When after all (woo! woo!)
It was you and me (woo! woo!)
Let me please introduce myself (who! who!)
I'm a man of wealth (who! who!) and taste (woo! woo!)
And I laid traps for troubadours (woo woo!)
Who get killed before they reached Bombay (woo woo!
woo woo!)
Pleased to meet you (woo woo!)
Hope you guessed my name, (who who!) oh yeah (who who!)
But what's puzzling you (who who!)
Is the nature of my game(who who!), oh yeah, get down
heavy (woo woo!)
(Woo who! woo who!)
(Woo woo!)
(Woo woo!)
(Woo woo!) ..............
Pleased to meet you (woo woo!)
Hope you guessed my name, (who who!) oh yeah (who who!)
But what's confusing you (who! who!)
Is just the nature of my game (woo woo!) um yeah (whoo woo!)
Just as every cop is a criminal (who who!)
And all the sinners saints (who who!)
As heads is tails (woo woo!)
Just call me Lucifer (who who!)
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint (who who!)
So if you meet me (whoo woo!)
Have some courtesy (woo woo!)
Have some sympathy, (woo woo!) and some taste (woo
woo!)
Use all your well-learned politesse (woo woo!)
Or I'll lay your(woo woo!) soul to waste,(woo
woo!), um yeah (woo woo!)
Pleased to meet you (who who!)
Hope you guessed my name, (who who!) um yeah (woo, woo!)
But what's puzzling you (who who!)
Is the nature of my game, (who who!) um mean it, (woo
woo!) get down
(Who who!) (who who!)
(Who woo!) (woo woo!)
Woo, who (who! who!)
Oh yeah, get on down (woo woo!)
Oh yeah (woo woo!)
(Woo woo! woo woo!)
(Woo woo! woo woo!)........
Oh yeah! (who! who!)
Tell me baby,(who! who!) what's my name(who who!)
Tell me honey,(who who!) can ya guess my name (who who!)
