Bank Of Mum And Dad

lyrics

The Bank, Bank, Bank, Bank, Bank, Baaaank of Mum and Dad!

Jeer, jeer, jeer at us ancient coupon clippers
Sneer, sneer, sneer at us unlucky lucky-dippers
We’re crossword puzzlers, tea guzzlers, sherry sippers
Doorstop sandwich!
Gout bandage!

But when your laughing leaflets are all spent, boy
And your future’s blue ’cos you ain’t got a red cent, boy
There’s no need to go bent for the rent, boy
In a rut?
It’s a short cut

To the Bank of Mum & Dad
When you’re potless in Islamabad
The Bank of Mum & Dad
When you thought you were having it large but find you’ve been had
The Bank of Mum & Dad

When the world grows up around you and you’re left small
Swallow your pride, make that call
To the Bank of Mum & Dad

The Bank, The Bank, The Bank, The Bank, The Bank of Mum and Dad!

Life is a football and you’ve got to head it
Yellow brick road paved with gold; you’ve got to tread it
Flash your cash cards with unlimited credit
But when they’re cut
Doors are shut

A gentleman’s handshake falls off at the wrist
The country club doorman says you’re not on the list
And the red carpet rolls up in a blue mist
No bunce to burn?
About-turn

To the Bank of Mum & Dad
Odds bodkins! Egad!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
When your have-it-largesse makes you large-S’d Sad
The Bank of Mum & Dad

Mock us for serenading our falcon with a spinet and flute
But you’ll be singing our little number when you’re out of loot
All the way!!

To the Bank of Mum & Dad
The Bank of Mum & Dad
The Bank of Mum & Dad
The Bank of Mum & Dad
Always open!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
24/7!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
No VAT!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
Interest-free!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
Don’t declare it!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
Don’t you share it!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
Easy terms!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
Cos you’re from the firm!
The Bank of Mum & Dad
