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)
