Ry Cooder – No Banker Left Behind lyrics

My telephone rang one evening,
My buddy called for me
Said the bankers are all leavin',
You better come round and see
It start in revelation,
They robbed the nation blind,
They're all down at the station,

No banker left behind.
No banker, no banker,
No banker could I find.
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
Hallelujah

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
