Jimmy Buffett - Bank of Bad Habits lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Bank of Bad Habits lyrics]
The rumors and the stories of my past
I can't deny
I'm no St ignatius, but again I'm no barfly
The wrong thing is the right
Thing until you lose control
I got this bank of bad habit's
In a corner of my soul
Bank of bad habit's
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 got this bank of bad habit's
In a corner of my soul
Last night I said good bye to
A dear old friend of mine
Just a throwback shell beach party
Nothing really asinine
Rum and cooked animals and
Bullshit by the ton
That party lasted way too long and
I had way too much fun
Bank of bad habit's
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 got this bank of bad habit's
In a corner of my soul
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
Now let me tell you about
The seven deadly sins
One: Pride - Thou shalt not
Have pride in thy neighbor
Two: Coveting - Thou shalt not
Covet thy neighbor's wife
Three: Lust - Thou shalt not
Lust after his neighbor's wife
Four: Anger - Do not be
Angry with your neighbor's wife
Five: Gluttony - Do not eat
Thy neighbor's wife's popcorn
Six: Envy - Do not envy your neighbor's wife
Seven: Sloth - Do not be a sloth
And the eighth deadly sin is pizza
A picture's worth a thousand words
Just ask a camera man
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 habit's
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 got this bank of bad habit's
In a corner of my soul
The wrong thing is the right
Thing until you lose control
I got this bank of bad habit's
It's worth it's weight in gold
Yea we're talkin' Krugerrands, Doubloons
You know I was wondering
Do you think they have an
ATM machine for bad habit's?
I think I'll apply for that card
I can't deny
I'm no St ignatius, but again I'm no barfly
The wrong thing is the right
Thing until you lose control
I got this bank of bad habit's
In a corner of my soul
Bank of bad habit's
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 got this bank of bad habit's
In a corner of my soul
Last night I said good bye to
A dear old friend of mine
Just a throwback shell beach party
Nothing really asinine

Bullshit by the ton
That party lasted way too long and

Bank of bad habit's
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
