Intro
Chorus 1
My daddy was a bankrobber,
But he never hurt no-body.
He just loved to live that way,
And he loved to steal your money.
Verse 1
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,
An' don't for-get to grovel.
Chorus 2
Daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt no-body
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to take your money

Verse 2
The old man spoke up in a bar
Said i never been in prison
A lifetime serving one ma-chine
Is ten times worse than prison
Imagine if all the boys in jail
Could now get out to-gether
Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?
While he was being clever
Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
'Cos that's where we're spinning
There's no poiunt to wanna comb your hair
When it's grey and thinning

So we came to jazz it up,
We never loved a shovel.
Break your back to earn your pay,
An' don't for-get to grovel. Hey!
Get a-way, get away, get away, get away,
Get away, get away, get away.

And i know that they never will.
