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 are rich and some are poor
And that’s the way the world is
But I don’t believe in layin' back
And sayin' how bad your luck is
So we came to jazz it up
But we never learned to shovel
Break your back just to earn our pay
And don’t forget to grovel
The old man spoke up in a bar
He 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
Whaddya think they’d wanna say to us?
While we was bein' clever
Someday you’ll meet your rockin' chair
'Cause that’s way we’re spinnin'
There’s no point, man, in combing your hair
When it’s all grey and thinning
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
He loved to steal your money
He loved to steal your money
