lyrics

STICK UP YOU’RE HANDS FOLKS THIS IS A ROBBERY
THIS IS A BANK, YOU HAVE CASH & IT’S ALL FOR ME
I WON’T HURT ANYBODY IF YOU PLAY IT COOL
I’M A FRIENDLY, ARMED ROBBER BUT I’M NOBODY’S FOOL

I’VE BEEN PLANNING THIS JOB FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS I’VE BEEN CASING THE JOINT FROM ACROSS THE STREET I BOUGHT THIS SHOTGUN FROM A GUY IN A BAR
I PART EXCHANGED IT FOR MY OLD GUITAR

C
& WHEN THIS JOBS DONE, I’M GONNA LIE REAL LOW OUT IN THE HOT SUN, ON A PLASTIC LILO
I’LL FIND A SWEETHEART TO HELP ME BLOW THE DOUGH WE’LL CANE IT BIG TIME ALONG THE COAST OF MEXICO

I’VE GOT A CAR PARKED JUST AROUND THE BLOCK
BUT THERE’S NO DRIVER WITH AN EYE ON THE CLOCK I WORK ALONE NOW SINCE MY PARTNER DIED
SHE WAS THE LAST GIRL THAT THE STATE ELECTRIFIED

NOW FILL THE BAGS QUICK I AIN’T GOT MUCH TIME
I GOTTA PLANE TO CATCH AT A QUARTER TO NINE
IT’S GONNA FLY ME TO A PLACE IN THE SUN
& THAT’S WHERE I’LL START MY NEW LIFE ON THE RUN

C

I GOT THE ROUTE DOWN LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND
I FIGURE THIS JOB MUST BE WORTH AT LEAST FIFTY GRAND I’LL GET IN LAUNDERED BY THE GUY IN THE BAR
& THEN I’LL BUY BACK MY DEARLY BELOVED GUITAR

THEN TO THE AIRPORT IN A CHANGE OF CLOTHES
A FAKE MOUSTACHE & A TOUPEE THAT I CAREFULLY CHOSE I’LL SLIP THROUGH CUSTOMS & THE JOBS NEAR COMPLETE
FINGERS CROSSED I CAN GET MYSELF A WINDOW SEAT
