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
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 your money or your life
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
Stand and deliver- your money or your life
Try and use a mirror your money or your life
And even though you fool your souls
Your conscience will be 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 your invitation
Free yourself of the other world 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

DA diddley qa qa DA diddley qa QA (repeat over chorus)
Stand and deliver- your money or your life
Stand and deliver- your money or your life...

Sugar Ray is an American rock band from Newport Beach, California. Originally forming in 1986. They originally played rap-rock, with early singles like “Iron Mic” and “Mean Machine”. The band achieved mainstream popularity in 1997 with their more pop-influenced single, “Fly”. The song’s success led the band to shift its style dramatically to the more radio-friendly pop sound with their newer releases. Their best-selling album, 14:59, was released in 1999, and featured popular singles “Every Morning”, “Someday”, and “When It’s Over”.
