Royal Scam, Steely Dan, 1976:
By the blackened wall
He does it all
He thinks he’s died and gone to heaven
Now the tale is told
By the old man back home
He reads the letter
How they are paid in gold
Just to babble in the back room
All night and waste their time
And they wandered in
From the city of St. John without a dime
See the glory
See the glory
Of the royal scam
Or another GLOBAL SCAM:
