A British Bank (The Life I Lead)

A British Bank (The Life I Lead) - Julie Andrews/David Tomlinson

A British bank is run with precision

A British home requires nothing less

Tradition discipline and rules must be the tools

Without them disorder chaos

Moral disintegration

In short we have a ghastly mess

I quite agree

The children must be molded shaped and taught

That life's a looming battle to be faced and fought

If they must go on outings

These outings ought to be

Fraught with purpose yes and practicality

These silly words like

Superca superca superca

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Yes well done you said it

And popping through pictures

Have little use fulfill no basic need

They've got to learn the honest truth

Despite their youth they must learn

About the life you lead exactly

They must feel the thrill of totting up a balanced book

A thousand ciphers neatly in a row

When gazing at a graph that shows the profits up

Their little cup of joy should overflow

Precisely it's time they learned

To walk in your footstep my footsteps

To tread your straight and narrow path

With pride with pride tomorrow

Just as you suggest pressed and dressed

Jane and Michael will be at your side
