Richard Bacchus & The Luckiest Girls - 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 is rich, and some is poor
And that's the way the world is
But I don't believe in laying back
Sayin' how bad your luck is

So we came to jazz it up
But we never loved a shovel
Break your back to earn our pay
Don't forget to grovel
Daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money

An old man stood up in a bar
He Said ""I have never been in prison
A lifetime working for these machines
Is ten times worse than prison""
Imagine if all the boys in jail
Could get out now together
Whadda 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're spinning
Why in the world do wanna spike your hair
When it's grey and thinning?

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

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