The Arrogant Worms

Proud To Be A Banker

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 burned my toast

And spilled coffee on my best shirt

So I have 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

I don't really give a d*mn

But I don't have another job 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 only have 20 hours to go

To contribute to my RRSP's before the taxes

So I run down to the bank

But there's a 20-mile line-up

& I'm yelling & I'm screaming

& I'm not wearing any pants!

Aaah! Haa! Haa! Haa!

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 the bank

Wait an hour in the line-up

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 check from Uncle Bill

That bounced & they'll have to charge me 40 bucks

For that & the box I never opened

And I don't have overdraft protection

& I think I'll die before I pay off all my auto loans

& I don't even own a car!

Ah! Oh! Uh!

It's great to be a banker!

I'm proud to be a banker!

It's great to be a banker!

'Cause I get to play with other people's money(He's a banker!)

Would you please endorse this check?(He's a banker!)

Do you have any assets?(He's a banker!)

You should buy, you shouldn't rent!(He's a banker!)

That check will cost you 50 cents!

It will cost you 50 cents!

He's a banker and he's says it will cost you 50 cents!

He's a banker and he's says it will cost you 50 cents!

He's a banker and he's says it will cost you 50 ceeeeeennnnnts!

It will cost you 50 cents!
