raised on robbery
he was sitting in the lounge of the empire hotel, he was drinking for diversion, he was thinking for himself, a little money riding on the maple leafs, along comes a lady in lacy sleeves, she says, let me sit down, you know drinking alone's a shame, it's a shame, it's a crying shame, look at those jokers glued to that damn hockey game, hey honey, you've got lots of cash, bring us down a bottle and we'll have some laughs, gin's what i'm drinking, i was raised on robbery, i'm a pretty good cook, sitting on my groceries, come up to my kitchen, i'll show you my best recipe, i try and i try but i can't save a cent, i'm up after midnight cooking, trying to make my rent, i'm rough but i'm pleasing, i was raised on robbery, we had a little money once, they were pushing through a four lane highway, government gave us three thousand dollars, you should have seen it fly away, first he bought a '57 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, you know you ain't bad looking, i like the way you hold your drinks, come home with me honey, i ain't asking for no full-length mink, hey, where you going, 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
