Well I'm feeling broke,
An' it aint no joke,
So I think I'll go and rob a bank,
Can't afford a gun,
And that aint fun,
But hell, I'm an enterprising Yank,
I'll go into the bank with my hand in my pocket,
Yelling 'Here's a bag, With money you can stock it!'
If they don't obey me, d'ya know what I'll do
Shoot 'em with my loaded
FINGER!

It was going like a dream,
The cashier began to scream,
And the customers were lying on the floor,
And the manager was trembling ,
As the cash he was assembling,
An' I thought 'I've made it now for sure!'
Then someone pressed a button and a bell began to clamour,
My pulse began to race and my heart began to hammer,
Pulled my hand from my pocket and what d'ya think they saw,
I'd only got a loaded
FINGER!

Cops came up with their sirens wailing
My whole enterprise was failng,
SWAT squad came with their guns and tasers,
I turned around and ran like blazes

But this great big copper,
Brought me down a cropper,
And another one sat upon my head,
Hauled me off down town,
Where they sat me down,
And they soon had me wishing I was dead,
The DA said 'I'm charging you with robbery one,
That's five to ten in the hoosegow, son,
For aggravated hold-up without a gun,
And possession of a loaded,
FINGER!!

The tune is an instrumental piece called 'Yackety Sax' which was used as the end titles play out music on UK television for 'The Benny Hill Show', which I believe has a following in the US.
It was recorded with some lyrics by Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins as 'Yackety Axe'
