Lyrics:

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 rich, some is poor
That's the way the world is
But I don't believe in lying back
Saying how bad your luck is

So we get to jazz it up
We never loved a shovel
Break your back to earn your pay
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

An 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'd want to say to us
While we was being clever?

Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
'Cause that's where we are spinning
There's no point to wanna comb your hair
When it's grey and thinning - 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 jazz 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 - hey, run rabbit run!

Brrrr -
Strike out, boys, for the hills
I can find that hole in the wall
I know that they never will

Daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
