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
