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
