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

Prudently, thriftilly, frugally invested in the...

Mr. Banks (Mr. Dawes Sr.):
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

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!

Mr. Dawes Sr.:
While stand the banks of England, England stands...
When fall the banks of England, England falls!

Tuppence
Patiently, cautiously, trustingly invested in the...
To be specific:
In the Dawes, Tomes, Mousely, Grubbs Fidelity Fiduciary Bank!
