Lyrics Ry Cooder – No Banker Left Behind
Text:
My telephone rang one evening, my buddy called for me
Said the bankers are all leavin’, you better come round and see
It started revelation, they robbed the nation blind
They’re all down at the station, no banker left behind
They were all down at the station, no banker left behind
Well the bankers called a meetin’, to the white house they went one day
They was going to call one the president, in a quiet and a sociable way
The afternoon was sunny and the weather it was fine
They counted all our money and no banker was left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
They were all down at the white house, no banker was left behind
Well I hear the whistle blowin’, it plays a happy tune
The conductor is calling «all abort», we’ll be leavin’ soon
With champagne and shrimp cocktails and that’s not all you’ll find
There’s a billion dollar bonus and no banker left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
When the train pulled out next mornin’, no banker was left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
When the train pulled out next mornin’, no banker was left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
They were all down at the station, no banker left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
When the train pulled out next mornin’, no banker was left behind
