Letra de Raised On Robbery - Joni Mitchell

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, drinkin� 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 round 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
I�m 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 pleasin�
I was raised on robbery
We had a little money once
They were pushing through a four iane 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 your loaded-
I was raised on robbery
