The Jolly Banker |
| My name is Tom Cranker and I’m a jolly banker |
| I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| I safeguard the farmers and widows and orphans |
| Singin' I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| When dust storms are sailing and crops they are failing |
| I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| I check up your shortage and bring down your mortgage |
| Singin' I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| When money you’re needing and mouths you are feeding |
| I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| I’ll plaster your home with a furniture loan |
| Singin' I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| If you show me you need it, I’ll let you have credit |
| I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| Just bring me back two for the one I lend you |
| Singin' I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| When your car you’re losin', and sadly you’re cruisin' |
| I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| I’ll come and foreclose, get your car and your clothes |
| Singin' I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| When the bugs get your cotton, the times they are rotten |
| I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| I’ll come down and help you, I’ll rape you and scalp you |
| Singin' I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| When the landlords abuse you or sadly misuse you |
| I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
| I’ll send down the police chief to keep you from mischief |
| Singin' I’m a jolly banker, jolly banker am I |
