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
