Song Parodies -> Wells Fargo

Original Song Title:

"Key Largo"

Original Performer:

Bertie Higgins

  
Parody Song Title:

"Wells Fargo"

Parody Written by:

Andria

This parody is a fictional anecdote about someone down on their luck withdrawing money from a Wells Fargo Bank ATM, fantasizing about robbing the bank, then living high on the hog legally thanks to lottery games. *"Farley in his van": This refers to the famous "Saturday Night Live" skit in which the late Chris Farley remarks about living in a van down by the river, thus implying that the fictional, nameless person in this parody has an undesirable living situation, but is not homeless.
At the ATM booth
Runnin’ my card to get cash
That sweet green paper, so precious
Lying in my black billfold
Payin’ all o’ my bills
Payin’ my rent and utility
Cable and Internet
And almost zilch left over

I’ve got it bad
But not like Farley in his van*
Drivin’ in my old beat-up Yugo
To a bank called Wells Fargo

I’ve got money now
To pay for all that I owe on
I can get rich, oh, filthy rich, I know
But I won’t rob the Wells Fargo

I can truly remember
When I was very flush
That one day, ‘twas July 4th
I gambled me broke
I think I won’t
Gamble again
'Cause I’m flat broken, still
Baby, this might be the end

I’ve got it bad
(I’ve got it bad)
I’m livin’ in a ghetto ‘hood
My credit’s goin’ to bad from good
Thinkin’ ‘bout robbin’ Wells Fargo

I’m lookin’ at jail time
(In fed’ral prison)
If I up and rob the bank
I’ll be rich, I will, I know
And I won’t rob the Wells Fargo

I’ve got it all
(I’ve got it all)
Just like Mr. Donald Trump
‘Cause I played the Megabucks
And didn’t rob the Wells Fargo

Thanks, AFW... did you work as a psychologist, mental-health specialist or psychiatrist prior to retirement? I'd like to know.

Why not try producing a Broadway flop - oops that was done before and it backfired.

Ah, the days of the 'large withdrawal"! Great one, Andria, and good OS. I think someone else did a remake of it, but the name escapes me..

Thanks Timmy1K, thanks Alvin, this OS wasn't a huge hit to the best of my knowledge, thanks again AFW, your old job sounded both boring and interesting at the same time, thanks 2Eagle, thanks Mark, and thanks TJC.

Great story Andria, reminds me of the Twilight Zone with Dick York having the ability to hear co-workers at the bank think, one with a similar fantasy. Depositing $555 in your parody account.
