C                            G
I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
  F
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
    C                               G
The devil take your stereo and your record collection!
    F                              [Guitar Figure 1a]
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!


CHORUS:
C            G         F                  [Guitar Figure 1a]
Stand and deliver your money or your life!
C             G          F                 [Guitar Figure 1a]
Try and use a mirror, no bullet or a knife!


VERSE:
I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making


[repeat CHORUS]

Even though you fool your soul, your conscience will be mine!
All mine!

VERSE:
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
Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation!
