A British Bank (The Life I Lead)
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, you have a ghastly mess!
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...
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
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!
It's time they learned to walk in your footsteps
to tread your straight and narrow path with pride
Tomorrow, just as you suggest, pressed and dressed
Jane and Michael will be at your side
A British home requires nothing less!
Tradition, discipline, and rules must be the tools
Without them - disorder! Chaos! Moral disintegration!
In short, you have a ghastly mess!
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...
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
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!
It's time they learned to walk in your footsteps
to tread your straight and narrow path with pride
Tomorrow, just as you suggest, pressed and dressed
Jane and Michael will be at your side
