Current song lyrics
He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel<br />He was drinking for diversion <br />He was thinking for himself<br />A little money riding on the maple leafs <br />Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves <br />She says 'let me sit down here, you know drinking alone's a shame <br />It's a shame, it's a crying shame <br />Look at those jokers glued to that damn hockey game <br />Hey honey - you've got lots of cash, bring us 'round a bottle<br />And we'll have some laughs, gin's what I'm drinking <br />I was raised on robbery'<br /><br />I'm a pretty good cook, I'm sitting on my groceries<br />Come up to my kitchen, I'll show you my best recipe<br />I try and I try but I can't save a cent<br />I'm up after midnight cooking, trying to make my rent<br />I'm rough but I'm pleasin'<br />I was raised on robbery<br /><br />We had a little money once <br />They were pushing through a four-lane highway <br />Government gave us three thousand dollars<br />And you should have seen it fly away <br />First he bought a '57 Biscayne, he put it in the ditch<br />He drunk up all the rest, that son of a bitch<br />His blood's bad whiskey<br />I was raised on robbery<br /><br />You know you ain't bad looking<br />I like the way you hold your drinks<br />Come home with me honey<br />I ain't asking for no full-length mink<br />Hey, where you going ... don't go yet ...<br />Your glass ain't empty and we just met<br />You're mean when you're loaded<br />I was raised on robbery
