SINGER: The Arrogant Worms

SONG:Proud To Be A Banker

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 burned my toast and spilled my coffee
on my best shirt. so i had 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
and i don't really give a damn
but i don't have another job
and 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 have only 20 hours to go
to contribute to my rrsp for this tax year
so i run down to the bank but there's a 20-mile lineup
and i'm yelling and i'm screaming
and i'm not wearing any pants ah ah ah ah ahhhhh
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 to the bank, wait an hour in the lineup
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 cheque from uncle bill
that bounced and so they'll have to charge me 40 bucks for that
and for the box i never opened and i don't have overdraft protection
and i think i'll die before i pay off all that i owe and i don't even
own 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)

(he's a banker)

(he's a banker)
the cheque will cost you fifty cents
(it will cost you fifty cents)
(he's a banker and he says
that it will cost you fifty cents
he's a banker and he says
that it will cost you fifty cents)
(it will cost you fifty cents)
