[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?
