Lyrics Fidelity Fiduciary Bank - Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson, The Bankers

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!
