Lyrics

[Intro]
Stand and deliver
[Verse 1]
I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on lookin' flash and grabbin' your attention
The Devil take your stereo and your record collection (Oh-whoa)
The way you look, you'll qualify for the next year's old age pension
[Chorus]
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Ha)
Try and use mirror, no bullet or a knife (Ha)
[Verse 2]
I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashin'
So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth takin'? (Oh-whoa)
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's makin'
[Chorus]
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Ha)
Try and use mirror, no bullet or a knife (Ha)
And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will be mine (Oh, oh)
All mine
[Verse 3]
We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
We're the dandy highwaymen, and here's our invitation (Oh-whoa)
Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation
[Chorus]
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Ha)
Try and use mirror, no bullet or a knife (Ha)
Even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will be mine (Oh, oh)
All mine
[Bridge]
Qua-qua, da-diddley, qua-qua, da-diddley
Qua-qua, da-diddley, qua-qua, da-diddley
Qua-qua, da-diddley, qua-qua, da-diddley
Qua-qua, da-diddley, qua-qua, da-diddley
[Bridge]
Stand and deliver your money or your life
Stand and deliver your money or your life
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Yeah) (Stand and deliver)
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Yeah) (Stand and deliver)
[Bridge]
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Yeah) (Stand and deliver)
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Yeah) (Stand and deliver)
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Yeah) (Stand and deliver)
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Yeah) (Stand and deliver)
[Outro]
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Yeah) (Stand and deliver)
Stand and deliver your money or your life (Yeah) (Stand and deliver)
