MAN OF MYSTERY
Man Of Mystery
Lyrics by Hal Pollock
There was a man I knew from Belgium
Owned a famous art gallery
He had a dozen hidden talents
Casanova by the sea
They called him Man of Mystery
Because no one knew his name
Some whispered it was Eric
But he changed it with his fame
By day he sold Picassos
But when the sun went down
He became the Man of Mystery
The coolest man in town
They say his greatest talent
What he was famous for
Was charming all the ladies
They’d be lined up at his door
Come meet the Man of Mystery
Lovely ladies by the score
He will kiss your hand to greet you
And will leave you wanting more
He had bedroom eyes of blue
A Bugatti the same shade
He was just a perfect gentleman
At palaces he stayed
He moved among the Royals
Those of wealth and pedigree
Selling art and gold and diamonds
A renowned celebrity
He never spoke of what he owned
Or revealed his family tree
He knew how to keep a secret
As discreet as he could be
Across the halls of Europe
A legend he became
Even now they talk about him
Though they still don’t know his name
If you ever chance to meet him
He comes knocking at your door
You never know what might just happen
Just what you might be in for
Come meet the Man of Mystery
Lovely ladies by the score
He will kiss your hand to greet you
And will leave you wanting more
He never spoke of what he owned
Or revealed his family tree
He knew how to keep a secret
As discreet as he could be
Across the halls of Europe
A legend he became
Even now they talk about him
Though they still don’t know his name
If you ever chance to meet him
He comes knocking at your door
You never know what might just happen
Just what you might be in for
Come meet the Man of Mystery
Lovely ladies by the score
He will kiss your hand to greet you
And will leave you wanting more
