Lyrics

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 And thats the way the world is And I don't believe in lying back And saying how bad your life is So we came to jaz it up Never loved a shovel Break your back earn your pay And 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 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 its grey and thinin (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 jaz it up We never loved a shovel Break your back 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, Laddy, run Strike out boy For the hills I can't find that hole in the wall I know that they never will My Daddy was a bankrobber But he never hurt nobody He just loved to live that way And he loved to steal your money
