Chorus 1-    
          My daddy was a bankrobber,
                                 
          But he never hurt no-body.
                                    
          He just loved to live that way,
                                    
          And he loved to steal your  money.

Verse 1- G
         Some is rich, and some is poor,
                                
         That's the way the world is.
                                     
         But i don't believe in lying back,
                           
         Sayin' how bad your  luck is.
         
         So we came to jazz it up,
                             
         We never loved a shovel.
                                     
         Break your back to earn your pay,
                            
         An' don't for-get to  grovel.

Chorus 2- G
          Daddy was a bankrobber 
                                 
          But he never hurt no-body
                                    
          He just loved to live that way
                                  
          And he loved to take your money

Verse 2-     G
         The old man spoke up in a bar
                                  
         Said i never been in prison
                                  
         A lifetime serving one ma-chine
                               
         Is ten times worse than  prison
         
         Imagine if all the boys in jail
                                
         Could now get out to-gether
                                               
         Whadda you think they'd want to say to us?
                         
         While he was being clever
         
         Someday you'll meet your rocking chair
                                    
         'Cos that's where we're spinning
                                             
         There's no poiunt to wanna comb your hair
                          
         When it's grey and thinning

         I can't find that hole in the wall
                                  
         And i know that they never  will.
