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
