A new Royal Family A wild nobility We are the family
I feel beneath the White There is a red skin suffering From centuries of taming
"No method in our madness Just pride about our manner Antpeople are the warriors Antmusic is the banner!"
And even when you're healthy And your colour schemes delight Down below those dandy clothes You're just a shade too white Shade too white! Shade too white!
I feel beneath the white There is a red skin suffering From centuries of taming...
I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention The devil take your stereo and your record collection! (oh-oh) The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
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? (oh oh) It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
And even though you fool your soul Your conscience will be mine All mine
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 oh) "Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation"
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
And even though you fool your soul Your conscience will be mine All mine
Qua qua da diddley qua qua da diddley Qua qua da diddley qua qua da diddley
Stand and deliver your money or your life! Stand and deliver your money or your life! (repeat)
Put some wax on the trax and slide on onta here Hane hane hane hane hane
Hatchets in the corner ears to the ground Improve to the groove get down to the sound Buttons and bows and bleu blanc rouge All things lively must be used Liberte, egalite, au jour d'hui see'est tres tres tres Voici l'opportunite nous incroyables
I got the moves they got the grooves Summoned the gods and they all approved Bad vibes akimbo on the shelf Bit of a rap thing going for myself This gold on the teeth's no sense at all It only matters when it's on the wall
I'm standing here with my four men Let's start that rapping thing again:
Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly In the naughty north and in the sexy south We're all singing I have the mouth In the naughty north and in the sexy south We're all singing I have the mouth I have the mouth
So tired of anarchists looking at me Don't need their credibility "Destroy," they say, "defy! condemn!" As long as you don't destroy them With twenty years of drugs and drink I thought the time had come to think About standing up and saying that It's tragedy and such old hat
I'm standing here with my four men Let's start that rapping thing again:
(I got) Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly In the naughty north and in the sexy south We're all singing I have the mouth In the naughty north and in the sexy south We're all singing I have the mouth I have the mouth
These happy feet are all we need Summoned the gods and they all agreed These feet won't stop they're in such a hurry I knock it on the head and I go for a curry Staying sober can be neat Get drunk on these here happy feet Keep on trying to pin me down "Why a title for your sound?" I'm standing here with my four men Let's do this rapping thing again:
I got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly In the naughty north and in the sexy south We're all singing I have the mouth
And I have the mouth And you have the mouth And they got the mouth

long ago in London town a man called Ant sat deeply sighing he was wondering which side of the fence he was on prick up your ears...
time went by and soon the one was five young hombres burning fire they were in no doubt which side of the fence they were on prick up your ears (mag-nificent five)...
he who writes in blood doesn't want to be read he must be learned by heart he's got to be learned by heart
they believed in sex and looking good with their own brand of music they weren't pandering so which side of the fence are you on?
