Some is rich and some is poor 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 to 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!
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 to 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 He just loved to live that way And he loved to steal your money
