Bank of England

Bankaránsrokkari fyrir The Icelandic Pop Orchestra

Bank of England

That‘s what friends are for
Who could ask for more?
It was either or
Please open the taxi door

Where to go? Soho?
We said: No, no, no
Let‘s just go, go, go
To Bank of England

Boy, that‘s swank
I want to hold your handgrenade
Said the cabbie
Blabby, blabby

Make a deposit, bro?
We said: No, no, no
Just withdraw some dough
From Bank of England

Need a tank?
I trust you‘ve got this planned
Said the cabbie
Gabbie, gabbie

We said: Will you wait for us?
Or do we take the bus?

Said the cabbie
Said the cabbie

Gonna take the bank?
This is not a prank?

Said the cabbie
Said the cabbie,

Take the bank? Ah!
I‘m from Casablanca
And with you all the way
Spring or fall, night or day

Hey, we said: We brought a lambhúshetta for you, too!

Lambhúshetta! Lambhúshetta!
Lamb House Hood! Yes, we should
Very good vegan food
Norwegian wood, understood?

That´s what friends are for
Who could ask for more?
It was either or
Cash and bonds galore

Where to go? Marseille?
We said: Nei, nei, nei
Let‘s go kneel and pray
At Westminster Abbey

Boy, that‘s swank
But it‘s a bit shabby

Said the cabbie

Don‘t take it hard
If Scotland Yard
Tries to retard
Your trip to Casablanca

Said the cabbie

Casablanca! Casablanca!
Here we go. Ho, ho, ho!

All you need is dough! All you need is dough!

Hello! Good bye! Hello! Good bye!
