Proud To Be A Banker
Lyrics and Songs by Arrogant Worms - Go back

I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
'Cause I get to play with other people's money
I'm having a lousy day
I burn my toast and spill my coffee
on my best shirt. So I had to change and then
I'm late for work. So I rush into the meeting
where they are discussing what my future in the corporation is
and I don't really give a damn
but I don't have another job
and so I lie and say
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
'Cause I get to talk to stimulating people
I open up my mail
hoping that it's not a bill but it's from the bank
saying that I have only 20 hours to go
to contribute to my RRSP for this tax year
so I run down to the bank but there's a 20-mile lineup
and I'm yelling and I'm screaming
and I'm not wearing any pants ha ha ha ha
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
'Cause I get to screw with other people's lives
I took out 40 bucks
from the automatic teller. It told me
that I couldn't 'cause I just had 10
but that can't be 'cause I just got paid on Friday
so I go down to the bank, wait an hour in the lineup
and I'm talking to the teller
she says "Wait I'll get your last month's statement"
She comes back in 7 hours
says I've got some interest charges and a cheque from Uncle Bill
that bounced and so they'll have to charge me 40 bucks for that
and for the box I never opened and I don't have overdraft protection
and I think I'll die before I pay off all that I owe and I don't even
own a car
I'm pleased to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm pleased to be a banker
'Cause I get to play with other people's money
(HE'S A BANKER)
Would you please endorse this cheque?
(HE'S A BANKER)
Do you have any assets?
(HE'S A BANKER)
You should buy you shouldn't rent
(HE'S A BANKER)
The cheque will cost you fifty cents
(IT WILL COST YOU FIFTY CENTS)
(IT WILL COST YOU FIFTY CENTS)
