Bankers like to take your money
And put it in a safe place;
And they can make it vanish
Without a stinking trace.
They will give you one percent interest on your money
If you put it in their bank;
And drive it around in armored cars
That look just like tanks.
If you need to borrow some
They will charge you twelve percent;
That is quite a profit
No gangster would resent.
If you have a credit card
And your payment's late,
They will charge you twenty percent
Plus the food on your plate!
With these kind of profits
And investments they make, too,
Where did all their money go?
Do you think it grew wings and flew?
The CEO's at the bank
Pay themselves millions;
Even if the money's gone
They still end up with billions.
How do I get to own a bank?
It seems like you can't lose;
And there's lots of perks
And plenty of time to snooze.
They never have bathrooms in banks,
There is no place to pee;
Up to a hundred thousand
Is backed by the F.D.I.C.
