We’re here to lease your land
We’re here to give you dough
Your LIFE will be just grand
You CAN trust us, you know.
We DE-cide where to drill
The noise it will be great
You want us to move our rig?
Ha Ha it’s too late.

To the bank, to the bank
Laughing all the way
Oh what fun it is to frack
Marcellus shale play.
To the bank, to the bank
Laughing all the way
Oh how rich it is to frack
Marcellus shale play.

Your water makes you sick?
We say it was bad before
You say we caused a slick?
Sue US if you’re so sure.
We’ll give you water now
Just sign this NDA
And if you dare break your vow
We will make you pay.

To the bank, to the bank
Laughing all the way
We have lawyers up the ass
So just sue away.
To the bank, to the bank
Laughing all the way
Oh how rich it is to frack
Marcellus shale play.

We bought a governor
To make the rules so lax
And so we could be sure
There’d be no severance tax.
We’ll bring you jobs galore
Just trust us with your health
And if bad things are in store
At least we’ve made our wealth.

To the bank, to the bank
Laughing all the way
We have paid for so much clout
We’ll crush you in a fray.
To the bank, to the bank
Laughing all the way
Oh what fun it is to frack
Marcellus shale play.
