Im fly and flash and my jive is sweet
Pressed in pleat right to my feet
But when it comes to cash
Im incomplete
Datin with no dough
I told my doll Id take her on a date
On the condition that shed have to wait
cause Ive never owned a car in the state
Ill be datin with no dough
The valets and the maitre d
Roll out the red carpet for me
My looks are deceiving lord
cause when the check comes Ill be gone
Guess Im deadbeat but what a seller
If flash were cash Id be a rockefeller
As long as my game goes unknown
Ill be datin with no dough
I took my baby uptown
To show her that I had some class
The drink tab I could not pay
You know I ended the date with her foot up my
Yes Im a deadbeat but what a seller
If flash were cash Id be a rockefeller
As long as my game goes unknown
Ill be datin with no dough
Royal Crown Revue è una band americana formatasi a Los Angeles nel 1989. Sebbene spesso associati al movimento Swing Revival, il loro stile musicale trascende i generi, mescolando influenze di rockabilly, punk, jazz, blues e soul. Tra le canzoni più rappresentative figurano "Solitary Man" (cover di Neil Diamond), "The Contender" e "Walking Like Brando". La band ha riscosso grande successo nei tour del Vans Warped Tour, condividendo il palco con artisti come i B-52's e i Pretenders. Hanno inoltre partecipato a importanti festival jazz americani. Nel 2010 hanno anche registrato un episodio speciale di "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", con Gene Simmons che ha preso le redini della band. Royal Crown Revue è stata fondata da Eddie Nichols e Mando Dorame, appassionati di musica roots. Inizialmente la formazione includeva anche i fratelli Mark e Adam Stern, provenienti dal gruppo punk Youth Brigade. Dopo diverse esperienze in tour con Youth Brigade, i Sterns hanno lasciato la band a metà degli anni '90. Oggi Royal Crown Revue è guidata da Eddie Nichols, Mando Dorame (saxofono tenore, arrangiatore e compositore), Scott Steen (tromba) e Daniel Glass (batteria). La band continua ad attirare grandi folle in Australia, Europa e Stati Uniti.
