If you invest your tuppence wisely in the bank, safe and sound
Soon that tuppence, safely invested in the bank, will compound
And you'll achieve that sense of conquest, as your affluence expands
In the hands of the directors who invest as propriety demands
[You see, Michael, you'll be part of]
Railways through Africa,
Dams across the Nile,
Fleets of ocean greyhounds,
Majestic, self-amortizing canals,
Plantations of ripening tea
All from tuppence, prudently, thriftily, frugally, invested in the,
To be specific, in the Dawes, Tomes, Mousely, Grubbs,
Fidelity Fiduciary Bank!
[Now, Michael]
When you deposit tuppence in a bank account, soon you'll see
That it blooms into credit of a generous amount, semiannually
And you'll achieve that sense of stature, as your influence expands
To the high financial strata that established credit now commands
You can purchase first and second trust deeds.
Think of the foreclosures!
Bonds! Chattels! Dividends! Shares!
Bankruptcies! Debtor sales!
Opportunities!
All manner of private enterprise!
Shipyards! The mercantile!
Collieries! Tanneries!
Incorporations! Amalgamations! Banks!
[While stand the banks of England, England stands.
When fall the banks of England, England falls]
[You see, Michael, all for the lack of]
Tuppence, patiently, cautiously, trustingly invested in the,
To be specific, in the Dawes, Tomes, Mousely, Grubbs,
Fidelity Fiduciary Bank!
