[MR. DAWES SR.]
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

[GEORGE BANKS, spoken]
May I, sir?

[MR. DAWES SR., spoken]
Carry on, Banks

[GEORGE BANKS, spoken]

Railways through Africa
([MR. DAWES SR.] Exactly!)
Dams across the Nile
([MR. DAWES SR.] The ships! Tell them about the ships!)
Fleets of ocean greyhounds
([MR. DAWES SR.] More, tell them more!)
Majestic, self-amortizing canals
([MR. DAWES SR.] How it fires the imagination!)
Plantations of ripening tea
All from...

Now, Michael

(sung)
When you deposit tuppence in a bank account
Soon you'll see
That it blooms into credit of a generous amount
Semiannually

[BANK DIRECTORS]
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!

[GEORGE BANKS, spoken]
You see, Michael

Tuppence
Patiently, cautiously, trustingly invested in the...
