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 |
