Bankrobber

My daddy was a bankrobber

But he never hurt nobody

He just loved to live that way

And he loved to steal your money

Some is rich, and some is poor

That's the way the world is

But I don't believe in lying back

Sayin' how bad your luck is

So we came to jazz it up

We never loved a shovel

Break your back to earn your pay

And don't forget to grovel

My daddy was a bankrobber

But he never hurt nobody

He just loved to live that way

And he loved to take your money

But now

The old man spoke up in a bar

Said, "I never been in prison

A lifetime serving one machine

Is ten times worse than prison"

Imagine if all the boys in jail

Could get out now together

What do you think they'd want to say to us?

While we was being clever

Someday you'll meet your rocking chair

'Cos that's where we're spinning

There's no point to wanna comb your hair

When it's gray and thinning, yeah

Yeah, my daddy was a bankrobber

But he never hurt nobody

He just loved to live that way

And he loved to steal your money

So we came to jazz it up

We never loved a shovel

Break your back to earn your pay

And don't forget to grovel, yeah

Get away, get away, get away

Get away, get away, get away

Get away

My daddy was a bankrobber

But he never hurt nobody

He just loved to live that way

And he loved to steal your money

Run rabbit run

Strike out boys, for the hills

I can find that hole in the wall

And I know that they never will

Daddy was a bankrobber

But he never hurt nobody

He just loved to live that way
