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! |
