Lyrics - Proud T O Be a Banker by Arrogant Worms

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)
Would you please endorse this cheque? (he’s a banker)
Do you have any assets? (he’s a banker)
You should buy you shouldn’t rent(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)
