Bilingual
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
May I, sir?
Carry on, Banks!
You see, Michael, you'll be part of
Railways through Africa!
(Exactly!)
Dams across the Nile!
(The ships, tell them about the ships!)
Fleets of ocean greyhounds!
(More! Tell them more!)
Majestic, self-amortizing canals!
(How it fires the imagination!)
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! Canneries!
Corporations! Amalgamations! Banks!
You see, Michael
Tuppence, patiently
Cautiously, trustingly
Invested in the
To be specific, in the
Dawes, Tomes, Mousely, Grubbs
Fidelity Fiduciary Bank!
