Fidelity Fiduciary Bank |
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, thriftilly, 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 (Go on!) |
Soon you’ll see (Tell them more!) |
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! |
