Proud To Be A Banker - Lyrics by Arrogant Worms


Lyrics
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 coffeeon my best shirt. So I had to change and then
I'm late for work. So I rush into the meetingwhere they are discussing what my future in the corporation isand I don't really give a damnbut I don't have another joband 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 mailhoping that it's not a bill but it's from the banksaying that I have only 20 hours to goto contribute to my RRSP for this tax yearso I run down to the bank but there's a 20-mile lineupand I'm yelling and I'm screamingand 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 bucksfrom the automatic teller. It told methat I couldn't 'cause I just had 1
0but that can't be 'cause I just got paid on Fridayso I go down to the bank, wait an hour in the lineupand I'm talking to the tellershe says "
Wait I'll get your last month's statement"
She comes back in 7 hourssays I've got some interest charges and a cheque from Uncle Billthat bounced and so they'll have to charge me 40 bucks for thatand for the box I never opened and I don't have overdraft protectionand I think I'll die before I pay off all that I owe and I don't evenown 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)
