Sympathy for the Duke
[THE DUKE]
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long years
Stole many a girl's soul to waste
Pleased to meet you hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
Well I saw you today at the reception
A glass of wine in your hand
[SATINE]
I knew I would meet my connection
[THE DUKE]
Well at your feet is this footloose man
But you can't always get what you want
[SATINE]
No you can't always get what you want
[BOTH]
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well you just might find you get what you need
[THE DUKE]
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed if they cup your waist
So if you need me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
[THE DUKE / MEN]
Love, Sister
Its just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
[THE DUKE/MEN (SATINE)]
Love (Love) Sister
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Love (Pleased to meet you (2X))
It's just a kiss away (It's just a kiss away)
It's just a kiss away (It's just a kiss away)
It's just a kiss away
[THE DUKE]
Hey
Baby what's my name?
