Lyrics "Fidelity Fiduciary Bank"
From MARY POPPINS"
Written by Sherman Brothers 1964



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

You'll be part of

Railways through Africa

Dams across the Nile

Fleets of ocean greyhounds

Majestic, self-amortizing canals

Plantations of ripening tea

Tuppence, prudently Fruitfully, frugally invested

In the, to be specific

In the Dawes, Tomes Mousely, Grubbs Fidelity Fiduciary Bank!


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!



Bank Officers: Shipyards!

The mercantile!


Collieries!

Tanneries!


Incorporations!

Amalgamations!

Banks!

Mr Dawes Sr.: (dialogue) While stands the banks of England, England stands. When falls 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!

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
