Lyrics
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 semi-annually
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
You see, Michael
Tuppence, patiently, cautiously, trustingly invested in the
To be specific
In the Dawes, Tomes, Mousely, Grubbs Fidelity Fiduciary Bank
