Cickety Click: Jolly Banker


Lyrics:

Jolly Banker © Artspurg 2018 SABAM

(Melody trad adapted and arranged from Lily of the West and Lakes of Pontchartrain)

Oh I'm a Jolly Banker, now that is who I am
I'll take all your money, so gladly if I can
Pay myself good wages, with a bonus now and then
All about your interest, I do not give a damn

Most of my investments, turned out to be bad
A mortgage can be flaky, some bonds as bad as that
And when I lost your savings, all there ever was
They'll cover me from taxes, and thus they save my [*****]

I'm a Jolly Banker, and how I love the job
You think I'm neat and decent, and thus I'm not the mob
Live my life in luxury, how can you be so blind
I'm glad we're not in Iceland; as there they jailed my kind

I don't want no pardon, for what I was and am,
I won't be reconstructed, I'll never give a damn
I won't say I'm sorry, you're such a stupid sob
I'm the Jolly Banker, oh how I love the job.

Oh I'm a Jolly Banker, now that is who I am
I'll take all your money, and gladly if I can
Pay myself good wages, with a bonus now and then
All about your interest; I do not give a damn
I do not give a damn, how I love a scam

Hymn of a skilled banker?

Was a fun listen! Also, liked "Forget about the Banjo", both versions. More please!

Best regards,
Misha.

Fiddler,
this is a very cool, fun and accurate ballad of the Bad.
Musically it's tidy and spot on.
I do think the length of the delay (the one that arrives in the right ear) is too long and unmusical. Matching it to the beat or phrasing would be the icing on this lovely topical cake.


Cheers

What a tune! I loved the groove of this, and the flow of it is impeccable. Got my toe tapping in about 10 seconds. Plus, the vocals are really memorable. Super tidy structure as well. Easy to follow, to the point, and concise. Mixing job is crisp too.

Nice work - thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Started with a lot of tests, and drew two styles in to the process mainly, _MANIAC2.Sty (adapted from the original one), and _CHETPCK.Sty. Copied a lot of RT generated stuff (see pictures below) into my DAW, some stuff remained more than others ... and edited the hell out of the remains. But there's a 'real' fiddle and mandolin involved, and bass, percussion, coming from other sources. F.i. only some dirty PG hiphop groove remained in just one 8 bar lasting break. -F

At first at least to my ears this sounded way to busy.
As I listened further I discovered how well this was put together.
Great lyrics and I love the melody. Rob

Someone has a financial ax to grind!!

I think it’s really interesting where the ideas for songs come from, and I found your song really interesting from that point of view.

You pulled together all the elements of really good songwriting to focus on a very specific topic.

I’d say it all came off really well, and I congratulate you on a fine piece of songwriting!

Very cool tune. Love dthe lyric. Kind of reminded me of the lyrics of the protest songs from the 60's which I grew up on. Excellent backtrack. Loved the vibe. Well done..
