Bonnyrigg Banker Chords by The Mccalmans

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ This song is really_
_ _ It's actually a political song and it concerns the whole banking system and the reason for the recession.
Many people think it started in America, mid-west America, and it actually [Gb] started in Boniwick in [N] Midlothian.
_ I went to a bank about three years ago and there was this little chubby chap there and
he was a really self-satisfying _ prat.
Why say that?
I was going to [D] say another word there. _
I [Gm] was trying to talk to him about [N] putting money in, getting money out, the whole thing
and he just said, just do what you want and tried to lead me into several ways of investing
and _ _ withdrawing and it was horrible.
He's the reason it all happened.
[B] He's the reason and you can't touch me for [Am] it because there are two [N] banks in Boniwick
so they don't know which bank I'm talking about.
_ It's the Bank of Scotland actually. _ _
_ The Boniwick Banker is the name of the song and it just _ all happens because of this one
man who becomes a [Bb] politician in the last verse [G] so it's [F] certainly_
_ [Ab] _ I [N] am a Boniwick banker and I've got some money for you.
You're a rambler and a gambler so come in and join the queue.
I love the smell of toxic debt so give it all to me and I'll be waiting at the bank
to give you more each day.
You can buy a house, a brand new car or a bonnie wee tartan shawl.
Oh yes, I am a banker, I think that's it at all.
And when at last you're overdrawn and interest rates are high, I'll sell your debt for profit
to the banker in the sky.
The Boniwick Banker's bonnie and the Boniwick Banker's bro.
It doesn't matter what I do, I'm high within the law.
I'm laughing when you're overdrawn and when you cannae pay.
I'm laughing all the way to the bank, oh happy, happy day.
Now I'm a chippy cheery chill as all my friends do know.
But even I was tested when the cash was running low.
The folk that had some savings that they wanted to withdraw, well they couldn't understand
when there was nothing there at all.
It's obvious when you think of it, I'd given the money away.
There was the chance to pay it back but some folk couldn't see.
So I shut my doors and all the banks of course did it the [G] same.
Then Gordon [N] gave us billions just to open them up again.
The Boniwick Banker's bonnie and [D] the Boniwick Banker's bro.
[B] It doesn't matter [F] what I do, I'm high within the law.
I'm laughing when [C] you're overdrawn and when you cannae pay.
I'm laughing [N] all the way to the bank, oh happy, happy day.
Things couldn't get much better or at least that's what I thought.
A hundred billion down the drain and frankly that's a lot.
They had a big inquiry and they said it would be fine.
Then they gave us all a bonus and they thanked me for my time.
Right now the [E] bubble's burst, I've got other fish to fry.
The [Ab] taxpayer pays me now for [N] other things I buy.
For I'm a politician and I'm claiming this and that.
Like a non-existent mortgage on an non-existent flat.
The Boniwick Politician is say bonnie and say bro.
It doesn't matter what I do, I'm high within the law.
I'm laughing when you pay me for your house is far away.
I'm laughing all the way to the bank, oh happy, happy day.
[Db] The Boniwick Banker's bonnie and the Boniwick Banker's [E] bro.
It doesn't [Db] matter what I do, I'm high within the law.
I'm [C] laughing when you're [Dm] overdrawn and [C] when you cannae pay.
[F] I'm [Gm] laughing all the way to the bank, oh happy, [Ab] happy day.
And nothing's really changed so it's a happy, happy day.
