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
