Started out in a bank as a bookkeeper and teller Pen and ink was used to enter in the daily ledger Ballpoints weren't around Their secret wasn't found Till a few years later, it became a top seller

Well, I used to be a bank robber//Got tired of watching my bobber//Waiting for a bite//Seemed to take all night//Locked up, I now blubber and slobber. INK ON JACKSON! (did you really work in a bank?)
