Proud To Be A Banker

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 IRS 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! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah!

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 over-drag 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 cents!
It will cost you 50 cents!
