Dandy in the Underworld

[Verse 1]

Prince of Players, pawn of none

Born with steel reins on the heart of the Sun

Gypsy explorer of the New Jersey Heights

Exalted companion of cocaine nights

[Chorus]

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?

[Verse 2]

At an old eighteen exiled he was

To the deserted kingdoms of a mythical Oz

Distraction he wanted, to destruction he fell

Now he forever stalks the ancient mansions of Hell

[Chorus]

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?

[Scat-singing Bridge]

[Chorus]

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?

[Verse 3]

Now his lovers have left him

And his youth's ill-spent

He cries in the dungeons and tries to repent

But change is a monster and changing is hard

So he'll freeze away his summers in his underground yard

[Chorus]

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?

[Verse 1]

Prince of Players, pawn of none

Born with steel reins on the heart of the Sun

Gypsy explorer of the New Jersey Heights

Exalted companion of cocaine nights

[Chorus]

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?

'Cos he's a Dandy in the underworld

Dandy in the underworld

When will he come up for air?

Oh, will anybody ever care?
