Bank Of Bad Habits Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

Bank Of Bad Habits Lyrics

    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.
