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

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

[00:00:34] And they wandered in

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

[00:00:39] Without a dime

[00:00:50] Wearing coats that shined

[00:00:53] Both red and green

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

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

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

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

[00:01:24] On the rising tide

[00:01:27] To New York City

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

[00:01:35] See the glory

[00:01:36] See the glory

[00:01:41] Of the royal scam

[00:01:52] They are hounded down

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

[00:01:57] Amid the ruins

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

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

[00:02:14] Their dark companions

[00:02:26] While the memory of

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

[00:02:31] A savage winter

[00:02:43] Every patron saint

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

[00:02:48] With twenty sinners

[00:02:54] See the glory

[00:02:55] See the glory

[00:02:59] Of the royal scam

[00:03:53] By the blackened wall

[00:03:56] He does it all

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

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

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

[00:04:15] He reads the letter

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

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

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

[00:04:43] And they wandered in

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

[00:04:54] See the glory

[00:04:56] See the glory

[00:05:00] Of the royal scam

[00:05:05] See the glory

[00:05:07] See the glory

[00:05:11] Of the royal scam

[00:05:17] See the glory

[00:05:18] See the glory

[00:05:22] Of the royal scam
