“No Banker Left Behind” by Ry Cooder appears on his 2011 album, Pull Up Some Dust and Sit Down.

[Verse 1]
My telephone rang one evening, my buddy called for me
Said the bankers are all leaving, you better come 'round and see
It's a startling revelation, they robbed the nation blind
They're all down at the station, no banker left behind
[Chorus]
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
They were all down at the station, no banker left behind
[Verse 2]
Well the bankers called a meeting to the White House they went one day
They was going to call on the President in a quiet and a sociable way
And the afternoon was sunny and the weather it was fine
They counted out our money and no banker was left behind
[Chorus]
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
They were all down at the White House, no banker was left behind
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well I hear the whistle blowing, it plays a happy tune
The conductor's calling all aboard, we'll be leaving soon
With champagne and shrimp cocktails and that's not all you'll find
There's a billion dollar bonus and no banker left behind
[Chorus]
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
When the train pulled out next morning, no banker was left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
When the train pulled out next morning, no banker was left behind
Hallelujah band
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
They were all down at the station, no banker was left behind
No banker, no banker, no banker could I find
When the train pulled out next morning, no banker was left behind
