Sympathy For The Ajaan

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of little wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's coins and faith

And I was 'round when Mongoose
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Spinaker
Cleaned his coins 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 some small change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Stole his coins and caused him pain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the coin market raged
And the turnaround times stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name,
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game,

I watched with glee
While your dead kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the coins they craved

I shouted out,
"Who cleaned the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was Kelly and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of little wealth and taste
And I laid traps for the Darksiders
Who get killed before they reached a Registry

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name,
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, get down, baby

Just as every cop is a sample slab collector
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Ajaan
'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 collection to waste,

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name,
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game,

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame.
