(Jessie's note: This song is great to run around to. I don't have that much of a beef with bankers.)
Proud to be a banker
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
Then I had to change
And now I'm late for work
So I rush into the office
Where they are discussing
What my future in the
Corporation is an
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
Proud to be a banker
Cause I get to
Talk to stimulating people.
I opened up my mail
Hoping that it's not a bill
But it's from the bank
Saying that I have only
Fourty hours to go to
Contribute to my RRSP
So I run down to the bank
Wait an hour in the lineup
And I'm yelling
And I'm screaming
AND I'M NOT WEARING ANY PANTS!!
Aghhhh aghhh AGHHHHH!
I'm proud to be a banker
I'm proud to be a banker
Proud to be a banker
Cause I get to screw
With other people's lives.
I took out fourty bucks
From the automatic teller
It told me that I couldn't
Cause I just had ten
But that can't be cause
I just got paid on Friday
So I go down to the teller, she says
"Wait, I'll get your last month's statement"
She comes back in seven hours
Says I've got some intrest
Charges and a cheque From Uncle Bill that bounced
And so they'll have to
Charge me fourty 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 my loans
And I don't even own a car!!!
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.
(He's a banker)
Will 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.
He's a banker and he says
The cheque will cost you fifty cents
He's a banker and he says
The cheque will cost you fifty cents
It will cost you fifty cents.
