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.
