Lloyds Banker
Parody on Wild Rover by Andy Martin

I've been a Lloyds Banker for many's the year
I've spent all your money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with   more gold in store
now I never will play the Lloyds Banker no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I be a Lloyds Banker,
No never no more

I went to the parliament I used to frequent
And I told the prime minister all the money was spent
I asked him for credit   he answered me nay
Such a custom as yours I can have any day


I took up from my pocket   ten euros bright
And the ministers eyes opened wide with delight
he said "I have pounds    and pence of the best
but the words that he told me were only in jest"


I'll go home to the *old lady, confess what I've done
And I'll ask her to pardon her Lloyds Banker son
She'll quantitive ease me as oft times before
So never will I play the Lloyds Banker no more

*the old lady of thread needle street
