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!
