The Royal Scam - Steely Dan[00:00:00]

Written by：Walter Carl Becker/Donald Jay Fagen[00:00:01]

And they wandered in[00:00:34]

From the city of St. John[00:00:36]

Without a dime[00:00:39]

Wearing coats that shined[00:00:50]

Both red and green[00:00:53]

Colors from their sunny island[00:00:55]

From their boats of iron[00:01:07]

They looked upon the promised land[00:01:10]

Where surely life was sweet[00:01:13]

On the rising tide[00:01:24]

To New York City[00:01:27]

Did they ride into the street[00:01:28]

See the glory[00:01:35]

See the glory[00:01:36]

Of the royal scam[00:01:41]

They are hounded down[00:01:52]

To the bottom of a bad town[00:01:55]

Amid the ruins[00:01:57]

Where they learn to fear[00:02:09]

An angry race of fallen kings[00:02:11]

Their dark companions[00:02:14]

While the memory of[00:02:26]

Their southern sky was clouded by[00:02:28]

A savage winter[00:02:31]

Every patron saint[00:02:43]

Hung on the wall shared the room[00:02:45]

With twenty sinners[00:02:48]

See the glory[00:02:54]

See the glory[00:02:55]

Of the royal scam[00:02:59]

By the blackened wall[00:03:53]

He does it all[00:03:56]

He thinks he's died and gone to heaven[00:03:57]

Now the tale is told[00:04:10]

By the old man back home[00:04:12]

He reads the letter[00:04:15]

How they are paid in gold[00:04:26]

Just to babble in the back room[00:04:29]

All night and waste their time[00:04:32]

And they wandered in[00:04:43]

From the city of St. John without a dime[00:04:46]

See the glory[00:04:54]

See the glory[00:04:56]

Of the royal scam[00:05:00]

See the glory[00:05:05]

See the glory[00:05:07]

Of the royal scam[00:05:11]

See the glory[00:05:17]

See the glory[00:05:18]

Of the royal scam[00:05:22]
