That Women’s Bank



A women’s bank for women,
     Chicago’s latest fad;
If matters run real smoothly
     We’ll all be very glad.
They’ll have a woman teller
     And she will tell it, too;
The president a woman,
     A really woman crew.

A woman for the cashier,
     A woman for the clerk;
The janitor a woman,
     A maiden-of-all-work.
Directors, wholly women,
     O, what a time there’ll be
At the directors’ meetings
     If they don’t all agree!

Depositors all women,
     We pray some female crank
Won’t start, some evil morning,
     A run upon the bank.
And, just a hint in closing:
     O, burglar keep your hook
Out of the safe, and leave it
     To some fair lady crook!
