Just keep the motor runnin',
This won't take very long.
By the time the po-lice get here,
We'll be already gone.
We've got to leave 'em hangin',
We can't leave 'em no clues.
Just take the money and run.

Lord, I love robbin' banks.
Lord, I love robbin' banks.
I always tell the teller, "Thanks."
Lord, I love robbin' banks.

I like to holler, "Stick up!"
When I walk through the door.
It lets 'em know their safe,
Just isn't safe anymore.
I like to see their faces,
When I show 'em my gun.
Then take the money and run.

Lord, I love robbin' banks.
Lord, I love robbin' banks.
I always tell the teller, "Thanks,"
Lord, I love robbin' banks.

Woah!

Instrumental break featuring guitar.

Five'll get you ten,
She'll push a burglar alarm.
Ten'll get you twenty years,
On some prison farm.
The first thing that I do,
Is make 'em lay on the floor.
Then take the money and run.

Lord, I love robbin' banks.
Lord, I love robbin' banks.
I always tell the teller, "Thanks."
Lord, I love robbin' banks.

I really do.

I love robbin' banks.
Yeah, I love robbin' banks.
I always tell the teller, "Thanks."
Lord, I love robbin' banks.

You know I like to see their faces and...

I love robbin' banks.
Yes, I love robbin' banks.
Fade.
I always tell the teller, "Thanks."
Lord, I love robbin' banks.

You know I like to see those hundred dollar bills...
