Lyrics

[00:16.09] My Daddy was a bankrobber
[00:19.42] But he never hurt nobody
[00:22.85] He just loved to live that way
[00:26.20] And he loved to steal your money
[00:29.79] Some is rich and some is poor
[00:33.01] And thats the way the world is
[00:36.45] And I don't believe in lying back
[00:40.01] And saying how bad your life is
[00:43.47] So we came to jaz it up
[00:46.72] Never loved a shovel
[00:50.10] Break your back earn your pay
[00:53.54] And don't forget to grovel
[00:57.27] Daddy was a bankrobber
[01:00.34] But he never hurt nobody
[01:03.67] He just loved to live that way
[01:07.23] And he loved to take your money (What law?)
[01:38.09] The old man spoke up in a bar
[01:41.16] Said I never been in prison
[01:44.54] A lifetime serving one machine
[01:48.03] Is ten times worse than prison
[01:51.64] Imagine if all the boys in jail
[01:54.86] Could get out now together
[01:58.29] What do you think they want to say to us
[02:01.73] While we were being clever
[02:05.38] Someday you'll meet your rockin chair
[02:08.60] Cause that's where we're spinning
[02:11.96] There's no point to want to comb your hair
[02:15.37] When its grey and thining (Hey)
[02:45.78] Hey
[02:46.94] Daddy was a bankrobber
[02:49.93] But he never hurt nobody
[02:53.31] He just loved to live that way
[02:56.74] And he loved to steal your money
[03:00.34] So we came to jaz it up
[03:03.65] We never loved a shovel
[03:07.06] Break your back earn your pay
[03:10.48] And don't forget to grovel (Hey)
[03:27.66] Get away, get away Get away, get away Get away, get away Get away
[03:41.27] Daddy was a bankrobber
[03:44.51] But he never hurt nobody
[03:47.84] He just loved to live that way
[03:51.16] And he loved to steal your money
[03:56.62] Run, Laddy, run
[04:10.25] Strike out boy
[04:13.58] For the hills
[04:15.59] I can't find that hole in the wall
[04:18.70] I know that they never will
[04:22.27] My Daddy was a bankrobber
[04:25.27] But he never hurt nobody
[04:28.56] He just loved to live that way
[04:32.15] And he loved to steal your money
