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

And I don't believe in lying back

Saying how bad your luck is

So we came to jazz it up

Never loved a shovel

Break your back to earn your pay

Don't forget to grovel

Daddy was a bankrobber

But he never hurt nobody

He just loved to live that way

And he loved to take your money

What law?

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 were being clever

Someday you'll meet your rockin' chair

'Cause that's where we're spinnin'

There's no point to want to comb your hair

When it's grey and thinnin', hey

Hey!

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, hey

Get away, get away, get away, get away

Get away, get away, get away

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

Brrr

Strike out boy

For the hills

I can't 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
