Proud To Be A Banker

The 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)
