Hands Up Robert

Break the ice, crack a joke
Get some air, have a smoke
Just buy time

From farther away, they’re alright
Maybe they won’t talk much tonight
Not likely

If I run, will they find me?
Float on down the Mississippi
Hit the Gulf and I’m home free

Get your hands up robber
Get you hands up robber
You blew your own cover
Never mix your lovers

Crack an egg, eat the yolk
Why don’t we all make up and go home
Cross boundaries

No need to be unfriendly
We’ll talk it over in the morning
I make the best french toast

Get your hands up robber
Get you hands up robber
You blew your own cover
Never mix your lovers
Get your hands up robber
Get you hands up robber
How’d you say you know her?
Not this time little robber

And you wear all the right suits
And your hair’s in the right do’s
Now but you’re not gonna win sir
Oh no, you’re not gonna win sir
Because you act like a criminal
You steal hearts like a criminal
You know

Get your hands up robber
Get you hands up robber
You blew your own cover
Never mix your lovers
Get your hands up robber
Get you hands up robber
If only you were smarter
Never mix your lovers
