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, and some is poor 
That's the way the world is 
But I don't believe in lying back 
Sayln' 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 forget to grovel 

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

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 

So we came to jazz it up 
We never loved a shovel 
Break your back to earn your pay 
An' 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 steal your money 

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