Stand and Deliver Songtext
von Adam and the Ants

Stand and deliver

I′m the dandy highwayman
You're too scared to mention
I spend my cash
On looking flash
And grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo
Your record collection
The way you look you′ll qualify
For next year's old age pension

Stand and deliver
Your money or your life
Hwoah
Try to use a mirror
Not a bullet or a knife
Hwoah


I'm the dandy highwayman
So sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, peekaboo 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

Stand and deliver
Your money or your life
Hwoah
Try to use a mirror
Not a bullet or a knife
Hwoah

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
Throw your safety overboard
And join our insect nation!


Stand and deliver
Your money or your life
Hwoah
Try to use a mirror
Not a bullet or a knife
Hwoah

And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will be mine
All mine

Da diddly qua qua
Da diddly qua qua

Da diddly qua qua
Da diddly qua qua
