And you had a do wacka do wacka do wacka do wacka do
See you're goin' down the street
In your big Cadillac
You got girls in the front
You got girls in the back
And way in the back
You got money in the sack
Both hands on the wheel
And your shoulders right back
I hear tell
You're doin' well
Good things have come to you
I wish I had your happiness
And you had a do wacka do wacka do wacka do wacka do
See you're goin' down the street
In your big Cadillac
You got girls in the front
You got girls in the back
And way in the back
You got money in the sack
Both hands on the wheel
And your shoulders right back
I hear tell
You're doin' well
Good things have come to you

And you had a do wacka do wacka do wacka do wacka do
You're doin' well
Good things have come to you

Was wondering what the meaning of this song was at work this week. I was fixated on “I hear tell you’re doing well, good things have come to you.” And “they tell me you’re running free” But far more importantly the part “You got girls in the front, you got girls in the back, yeah way in the back, you got money in the sack, both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back.”
What did he mean by “way in the back”? And the “Money in the sack” that followed? Is this song about a bank robbery!? “Way in the back” = vault? “Do-wacka-do” = wack a bank?
Pretty out there theory, I know.
@kevin10383 The song is from the perspective of a man who is jealous of another man because he has so many great things going for him. "I wish I had your happiness; I wish I had your good-luck charm"

"They tell me you're running free" - I take this as the guy doesn't have a care in the world and is free to do whatever he wants because of his success.
“You got girls in the front, you got girls in the back, yeah way in the back, you got money in the sack, both hands on the wheel and your shoulders rared back.” - Just another line about how rich and successful the man is. He's driving a Cadillac, he's got the attention of all the girls, etc. I think "money in the sack" is just a bit of hyperbole.
As far as what "Do-wacka-do" means, I think only Roger will ever know that. I take it as a way to wish bad things would start happening to the man without saying what those things are. Roger was famous for nonsense words and improvisation, I wouldn't be surprised if "Do-wacka-do" just sort of came about in the songwriting process.
