Well your daddy was a robber baron
And he robbed so much it hurts
Now he's lying in some alley
And his mouth is filled with dirt
Your mother played the actress
Danced behind her rainbow fence
In hotel room dark you watched her
Working late to pay the rent
Keeping bad company
You were born to shake and shimmy
And you hitched it down the coast
Now the one's you bring home hungry
Are the one's you love the most
Keeping bad company
