Bankrobber |
| My Daddy was a bank robber, |
| 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 that's 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. |
| 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' |
| So we came to jaz it up |
| We never loved a shovel |
| Break your back earn your pay |
| And don't forget to grovel |
| Daddy was a bank robber |
| But he never hurt nobody |
| He just loved to live that way |
| And he loved to steal your money |
| Strike out boy |
| For the hills |
| I can't find that hole in the wall |
| I know that they never will |
