Bankrobber

My daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt anybody
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
And saying 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 anybody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to seek your money

An old man spoke up in bar
He said that 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 wanna say to us
While we were being clever

Someday, you'll meet your rocking chair
'Cause that's where we're spinning
There's no point to wanna comb your hair
When it's grey and thinning, hey

Yeah, daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt anybody
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

My daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt anybody
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 anybody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
