Rob St. John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He goes by the name of Domino
A long tweed jacket and a diamond ring
A blue sport car, he's a crazy king
They love him so that cat called Domino, Domino, Domino
Well the girls all think that he's a real gone guy
They all flip when he walks by
He's rearm' to go and never sings the blues
They love him so that cat called Domino, Domino, Domino
He's got cool black hair and a solid style
Long side-bums and a crazy smile
A thousand girls, they'll tell you so
They dig that cat called Domino
They love him so that cat called Domino, Domino, Domino
Well Domino, cool man go, Domino, they love him so
Get out of the way, here comes Domino, Domino, Domino
The lyrics to Rob St. John's song, "Domino," describe a charismatic and fashionable character known around town as Domino. He is painted as a king among men, with a long tweed jacket, diamond ring, and blue sports car that all contribute to his larger-than-life persona. The women in the town are smitten with him, swooning over his shanty clothes and cool white shoes. The lyrics paint a picture of a confident, carefree man who is adored by all those around him. The repetition of his name throughout the song, along with the catchy melody, serve to further amplify his legendary status.
Despite the uplifting tone of the lyrics, there is a sense of distance from Domino. He is portrayed as an untouchable idol who is always "rear'm to go" and "never sings the blues." It's unclear whether this is due to his confident attitude, or because he is hiding his true emotions. Either way, the song celebrates the idea of a magnetic individual who captures the admiration and adoration of everyone who crosses his path.
