Lyrics

0:16My Daddy was a bankrobber
0:19But he never hurt nobody
0:22He just loved to live that way
0:26And he loved to steal your money
0:29Some is richand some is poor
0:32And thats the way the world is
0:36And I don't believe in lying back
0:39And saying how bad your life is
0:43So we came to jaz it up
0:46Never loved a shovel
0:50Break your back earn your pay
0:53And don't forget to grovel
0:57Daddy was a bankrobber
1:00But he never hurt nobody
1:03He just loved to live that way
1:07And he loved to take your money (What law )
1:38The old man spoke up in a bar
1:41Said I never been in prison
1:45A lifetime serving one machine
1:48Is ten times worse than prison
1:51Imagine if all the boys in jail
1:55Could get out now together
1:58What do you think they want to say to us
2:02While we were being clever
2:05Someday you'll meet your rockin chair
2:08Cause that's where we're spinnin
2:12There's no point to want to comb your hair
2:15When its grey and thinin (Hey)
2:19Hey
2:45Hey
2:46Daddy was a bankrobber
2:49But he never hurt nobody
2:53He just loved to live that way
2:56And he loved to steal your money
3:00So we came to jaz it up
3:03We never loved a shovel
3:07Break your back earn your pay
3:10And don't forget to grovel (Hey)
3:27Get away' get away Get away' get away Get away' get away Get away
3:41Daddy was a bankrobber
3:44But he never hurt nobody
3:48He just loved to live that way
3:51And he loved to steal your money
3:56Run' Laddy' run
4:08Strike out boy
4:13For the hills
4:15I can't find that hole in the wall
4:18I know that they never will
4:22My Daddy was a bankrobber
4:25But he never hurt nobody
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 richand 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
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
