OK Helen,The song you are thinking of is actually one of my favourites.

The Rolling Stones
Sympathy For The Devil
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

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 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, oh yeah


(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(whoo whoo)

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)

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
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
Oh Yeah (whoo whoo)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo) ..........

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(whoo whoo)
Use all your well-learned politesse (whoo whoo)
Or I'll lay your(whoo whoo) soul to waste,(whoo whoo), um yeah
(whoo whoo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, (whoo whoo) um yeah
(whoo, whoo)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
(whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo)............

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)
(whoo whoo, whoo whoo)........
Oh yeah!
(whoo, whoo)
(whoo whoo, whoo, whoo)

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