Intro
Prelude
He was sittin’ in the lounge of the empire hotel
He was drinkin’ for diversion he was thinkin’ for himself
A little money ridin’ on the maple leafs
Along comes this lady in lacy sleeves she says
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
Let me sit down you know,
Drinkin’ alone’s a shame
It’s a shame it’s a cryin’ shame
Look at those jokers glued to that damn hockey game
Hey honey you got lots of cash
Bring us ‘round a bottle and we’ll have some laughs
Gin’s what I’m drinkin’ I was raised on robbery
Turnaround
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
I’m a pretty good cook sittin’ on my groceries
Come up to my kitchen i’ll show you my best recipes
I try and i try but i can’t save a cent
I’m up after midnight cookin’ tryin’ to make my rent
I’m rough but I’m pleasin’ I was raised on robbery
Turnaround
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
I had a little money once
They were pushin’ through a four lane highway
Government gave us three thousand dollars,
You shoulda seen it fly away
First he bought a fifty-seven Biscayne he put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest that son of a bitch
His blood’s bad whiskey I was raised on robbery
Turnaround
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
You know you ain’t bad lookin’,
I like the way you hold your drinks
Come home with me honey
I ain’t askin’ for no full-length mink
Hey, where you goin’?
Don’t go yet your glass ain’t empty and we just met
You’re mean when you’re loaded;
I was raised on robbery
