The Money Tree

Daddy daddy, can I have some money?

Of course you can

And I’ll tell you a story

Which is really quite funny?

 

Money grows on trees

It’s a secret you know

It’s how the banks started

Long Long Ago

 

They planted a penny

They soon had a pound

Which then became an Orchard

This investment was sound

 

Planted deep in the ground

Out of plain sight

Checking their progress

Quietly at night

 

Then one summer’s day

When the weather was fine

Silver coins would appear

A few at a time

 

The leaves of these trees

Twenty pound notes

Guarding these forests

Heavily armed moats

 

Money grows on trees

Let’s plant your fifty pence

Surely you agree

It makes perfect cents
