JIMMY BUFFETT - Bank of Bad Habits lyrics

rate me

The rumors and the stories of my past I can't deny

I'm no Saint Ignatius but again I'm no barfly

The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control

I've got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

Bank of bad habits

The price of vice fortold

One by one they'll do you in

They're bound to take their toll

The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control

I've got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

Last night I said goodbye to a dear old friend of mine

Just a throw back shell beach party, nothin' really asinine

Rum and cooked animals and bullshit by the ton

That party lasted way too long and I had too much fun

Bank of bad habits

The price of vice fortold

One by one they'll do you in

They're bound to take their toll

The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control

I've got this bank of bad habits in a corner of my soul

That bank of bad habits is worth its weight in gold

Time for you to spend that dough

You're the only one you owe

So put away those alibis

You can't fool that Banker in the sky

(Spoken)

Now let me tell you about the 7 Deadly Sins:

1. Pride...Thou shalt not have pride in thy neighbor.

2. Coveting...Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.

3. Lust...Thou shalt not lust after his neighbor's wife.

4. Anger...Do not be angry with your neighbor's wife.

5. Gluttony...Do not eat thy neighbor's wife's ........popcorn.

6. Envy...Do not envy your neighbor's wife.

7. Sloth...Do not be a slob.

And the eighth deadly sin is............PIZZA!

A picture's worth a thousand words just ask a cameraman

And it's no sin to stop and look, I do it when I can

But you have to purge that urge to merge

You have to keep your head

Or trouble is what you will find inside some stranger's bed

Bank of bad habits

The price of vice foretold

One by one they'll do you in

They're bound to take their toll

The wrong thing is the right thing until you lose control

I've got this bank of bad habits

It's worth it's weight in gold

(Spoken)

Yeah, we're talkin' Krugerands......dubloons

I was wonderin', um, do you think they have an ATM machine for bad habits?

Hmm.

I think I'll apply for that card.
