All right, ladies and gents, comical poems suitable for the occasion,
extemporized and thought up before your very eyes.
All right, here we go.
Room here for everyone gathered around...
The constable's responstable. Now, how does that sound?
Hello, Miss Lark, I got one for you
Miss Lark likes to walk in the park with Andrew.
Hello, Andrew.
Ah, Mrs. Cory, a story for you
Your daughters were shorter than you...
but they grew.
Dear Miss Persimmon...
Yes?
Wind's in the east...
Mist comin' in...
Like something is brewin' About to begin
can't put me finger on what lies in store
But I feel what's to happen...
all happened before.
I'm sorry. Where was I?
Thank you, one and all, for your kind support.
Ah, Miss Lark, thank you.
Crikey.
Bless you, guv. Generosity itself, that's what you are.
No charge.
Oh, it's you! Hello.
Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane, you say?
All right. Come along with me.
This here's Cherry Tree Lane.
Nice little spot, you might say.
Number 17's just down a bit.
Now, this imposing edifice what first greets the eye
is the home of Admiral Boom, late of His Majesty's Navy.
Likes his house shipshape, he does, shipshape and Bristol fashion at all times.
- Time gun ready? - Ready and charged, sir.
- Three minutes and six seconds. - Aye aye, sir.
What he's famous for is punctuality.
The whole world takes its time from Greenwich.
But Greenwich, they say, takes its time from Admiral Boom.
What cheer, Admiral?
Good afternoon to you, young man. Where are you bound?
Number 17. Got some parties here in tow what wants to see it.
- Enter that in the log. - Aye aye, sir.
A word of advice, young man:
Storm signals are up at Number 17.
Bit of heavy weather brewing there.
Thank you, sir. Keep an eye skinned.
Here we are. Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane.
Residence of George Banks, Esquire.
Hello, hello, hello. The Admiral's right.
Heavy weather brewin' at Number 17, and no mistake.
- Leave her alone! - Shut up!
I'll show you. Don't you be trying to stop the wretched creature!
Let her go, that's what I say, and good riddance!
I never liked her from the moment she set foot in the door.
But who gets stuck with the children with no nanny in the house? Me, that's who!
Her and her high and mighty ways!
And that face of her that would stop a coal barge, it would.
Indeed, Mrs. Brill! I wouldn't stay in this house another minute,
not if you heaped me with all the jewels in Christendom.
- No, no, Katie Nanna, don't go! - Stand away from that door, my girl!
But what am I going to tell the master about the children?
It's no concern of mine.
Those little beasts have run away from me for the last time.
They must be somewhere. Did you look around the zoo in the park?
You know how Jane and Michael is.
Coo! You don't think the lion could've got at them, do ya?
You know how fond they was of hangin' around the cage.
I've said my say, and that's all I'll say. I've done with this house forever.
Well, hip, hip, hooray! And don't stumble on the way out, dearie.
Now, now, Katie Nanna!
Mrs. Banks! She's home!
Our daughters' daughters will adore us and we'll sing in grateful chorus
Well done, Sister Suffragette
Good evening, Katie Nanna, Ellen.
We had the most glorious meeting!
Mrs. Whitbourne-Allen chained herself to the wheel of the prime minister's carriage.
- You should've been there. - Mrs. Banks, I would like a word with you.
And Mrs. Ainslie, she was carried off to prison,
singing and scattering pamphlets all the way!
I'm glad you're home, madam. I've always given the best that's in me...
Oh, thank you, Katie Nanna. I always knew you were one of us.
We're clearly soldiers in petticoats
And dauntless crusaders for women's votes
Though we adore men individually
We agree that as a group they're rather stupid
- Mrs. Banks... - cast off the shackles of yesterday
Shoulder to shoulder into the fray
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sing in grateful chorus
Well done, Sister Suffragette
Be that as it may, I do not wish to offend, but I...
From Kensington to Billingsgate one hears the restless cries
From every corner of the land womankind arise
Political equality and equal rights with men
Take heart, for Mrs. Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again
No more the meek and mild subservients we
We're fighting for our rights militantly
Never you fear
If I may have a word, Mrs. Banks.
- So cast off the shackles of yesterday - Mrs. Banks!
And shoulder to shoulder into the fray
Our daughters' daughters will adore us
And they'll sing in grateful chorus
- Well done... - Mrs. Banks.
- Well done - Mrs. Banks.
- Well done, Sister Suf... - Mrs. Banks!
What is it, Katie Nanna?
Mrs. Banks, I have something to say to you.
Where are the children?
The children, madam, to be precise, are not here. They've disappeared again.
Katie Nanna, this is really too careless of you.
Doesn't it make the third time this week?
The fourth, madam. And I for one have had my fill of it.
- I'm not one to speak ill of the children... - When do you expect them home?
I really couldn't say. And now if you'd be good enough to compute my wages, I'll...
Oh, gracious, Katie Nanna, you're not leaving? What will Mr. Banks say?
He's going to be cross enough as it is to come home and find the children missing.
Ellen, put these things away. You know how the cause infuriates Mr. Banks.
Yes, ma'am.
Katie Nanna, I beseech you. Please reconsider.
Think of the children. Think of Mr. Banks.
He was just beginning to get used to you.
Posts, everyone!
Four, three, two, one... Fire!
- Katie Nanna, I do beseech you... - My wages, if you please.
- Bit early tonight, aren't you, Admiral? - Nonsense. Bang on the dot, as usual.
How are things in the world of finance?
Never better. Money's sound, credit rates are moving up, up, up,
and the British pound is the admiration of the world.
Good man.
How do things look from where you stand?
Bit chancy, I'd say. The wind's coming up and the glass is falling.
- Don't like the look of it. - Good, good, good.
Banks, shouldn't wonder if you weren't steering into a nasty piece of weather.
Banks! Do you hear me?
Hello, Katie Nanna. That must be heavy. Allow me.
What a very pretty hat.
I feel a surge of deep satisfaction
Much as a king astride his noble steed
Thank you.
When I return from daily strife to hearth and wife
How pleasant is the life I lead
- Dear, it's about the children... - Yes, yes, yes.
I run my home precisely on schedule
At 6:01, I march through my door
My slippers, sherry and pipe are due at 6:02
consistent is the life I lead
- George, they're missing. - Splendid, splendid.
It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910
King Edward's on the throne It's the Age of Men
I'm the lord of my castle The sovereign, the liege
I treat my subjects, servants, children, wife
With a firm but gentle hand Noblesse oblige
It's 6:03, and the heirs to my dominion
Are scrubbed and tubbed and adequately fed
And so I'll pat them on the head and send them off to bed
Ah, lordly is the life I lead
- Winifred, where are the children? - They're not here, dear.
What? Well, of course they're here! Where else would they be?
- I don't know, George. - You don't know?
Well, they're missing. Katie Nanna has looked everywhere.
Very well. I'll deal with this at once.
Give me the police station. Quickly, please.
I don't think we need bother the police, dear. The facts of the matter...
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts.
One fact and one fact alone is crystal clear! Katie Nanna's faltered at her post.
She's let the family down. And I shall bring her to book...
Oh. She's left us, hasn't she?
Yes, dear. Only just.
What? Uh, yes. George Banks here.
Yes. 17 Cherry Tree Lane. It's a matter of some urgency.
I should like you to send a policeman around immediately.
The policeman's here, George!
What? Oh, how very prompt. What wonderful service.
Thank you so much. Good night.
- Come in, Constable. Come in. - Thank you, sir.
While going about my duties on the other side of the park,
I noted some valuables that had gone astray. I believe they're yours, sir.
Valuables?
Come along, now. Come along.
- Jane! Michael! - Winifred, please don't be emotional.
Oh, I wouldn't be too hard on 'em, sir. They've had a long, weary walk today.
Children, come here at once.
- Well? - I'm sorry we lost Katie Nanna, Father.
- You see, it was windy... - And the kite was too strong for us.
In a manner of speaking, sir, it was the kite that ran away, not the children.
Thank you, Constable. I think I can manage this.
Actually, it wasn't a very good kite. We made it ourselves.
Perhaps if you helped us to make one...
Ah, that's the ticket, sir. Kites are skittish things.
Why, only last week with me own youngsters...
I'm very grateful to you, Constable, for returning the children.
And I'm sure that if you go to the kitchen, Cook will find you a plate of something.
Thank you, sir. I shall now return to my duties.
Thank you, Constable.
Good night, miss. Good night, ma'am. Good night, sir.
"Cook will find you something..."!
I'm awfully sorry about this, George. I'll expect you'll want to discuss it.
I would indeed!
Ellen, take Jane and Michael upstairs straight away.
Yes, sir.
I knew it. When all's said and done, who bears the brunt of everything around here?
Me, that's who!
They don't want an honest, hard-workin' girl around here.
They need a ruddy zookeeper.
I'm sorry, dear, but when I chose Katie Nanna
I thought she would be firm with the children. She looked so solemn and cross.
Winifred, never confuse efficiency with a liver complaint.
I'll try to do better next time.
Next time? My dear, you've engaged six nannies in the last four months!
And they've all been unqualified disasters.
I quite agree.
Choosing a nanny for the children is an important and delicate task.
It requires insight, balanced judgment and an ability to read character.
Under the circumstances, I think it might be apropos
to take it upon myself to select the next person.
Oh, would you, George?
The way to find a proper nanny is to go about it in a proper fashion.
I shall put an advertisement in The Times. Take this down, please.
- Yes, of course, dear. - Wanted. Uh, no, required.
Nanny: Firm, respectable, no nonsense.
A British nanny must be a general
The future empire lies within her hands
And so the person that we need to mold the breed
Is a nanny who can give commands
- Are you getting this, Winifred? - Oh, yes, dear. Every word.
A British bank is run with precision
A British home requires nothing less
Tradition, discipline and rules must be the tools
Without them: Disorder, catastrophe, anarchy
In short, you have a ghastly mess
Splendid, George! Inspirational. The Times will be so pleased.
- Father? - Yes?
We've discussed everything, and we're very sorry about what we did today.
I should certainly think so.
It was wrong to run away from Katie Nanna.
It was indeed.
And we do so want to get on with the new nanny.
Very sensible. I shall be glad to have your help in the matter.
We thought you would. That's why we wrote this advertisement.
- Advertisement for what? - For the new nanny.
- You wrote an advert... - George, I think we should listen.
- You said you wanted our help. - But, but... Oh, very well.
"Wanted: A nanny for two adorable children."
Adorable - well, that's debatable, I must say.
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
- Jane, I don't... - Rosy cheeks, no warts
- That's the part I put in. - Play games, all sorts
You must be kind You must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
- Well, of all the ridic... - George, please!
Take us on outings Give us treats
Sing songs, bring sweets
Never be cross or cruel
Never give us castor oil or gruel
Love us as a son and daughter
And never smell of barley water
I put that in too.
If you won't scold and dominate us
We will never you give you cause to hate us
We won't hide your spectacles so you can't see
Put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea
Hurry, Nanny
Many thanks, Sincerely...
Jane and Michael Banks
Thank you. Most interesting.
And now I think we've had quite enough of this nonsense.
Please return to the nursery.
They were only trying to help. They're just children.
I'm well aware they're just children, Winifred.
I only congratulate myself that I decided to step in and take a hand.
"Play games, sing songs, give treats." Ridiculous.
There's no question in my mind whatsoever. Now is the time for action.
Give me The Times, please. No, I do not know the number.
Oh, George, you're always so forceful.
The Times? George Banks here. 17 Cherry Tree Lane.
I wish to place an advertisement in your column.
- Time gun ready? - Ready and charged, sir.
I'll take the report, Mr. Binnacle.
The wind has changed, sir. Seems to be comin' in from a new quarter.
So it is.
- Sir? - What is it?
Bit of somethin' or other taking place off the port bow.
Ghastly looking crew, I must say!
Coo! There's a fair queue of nannies outside, sir. Shall I show 'em in?
Ellen, I said eight o'clock, and eight o'clock it shall jolly well be.
You see? 12 seconds to go.
- Ten, nine, eight... - Posts!
Seven, six, five, four,
three, two, one!
Ellen, it is now eight o'clock.
Yes, sir.
I have told you time and time again, Ellen, I dislike being hurried into things.
I don't understand. They're not what we advertised for at all.
Michael, look!
- Perhaps it's a witch. - Of course not. Witches have brooms.
It's her. It's the person. She's answered our advertisement.
Rosy cheeks and everything.
Ellen, you may now show them in, one at a time.
Yes, sir.
- You may come in one at a time. - Thank you.
You are the father of Jane and Michael Banks, are you not?
I said, you are the father of Jane and Michael Banks?
Well, well yes, of course. I mean...
You brought your references, I presume. May I see them?
Oh, I make it a point never to give references.
A very old-fashioned idea, to my mind.
Is that so? We'll have to see about that, then, won't we?
Now then, the qualifications.
Item one: "A cheery disposition."
I am never cross.
Item two: "Rosy cheeks."
Obviously.
Item three: "Play games, all sorts."
Well, I'm sure the children will find my games extremely diverting.
May I? This paper, where did you get it from? I thought I tore it up.
Excuse me. Item four: "You must be kind."
I am kind, but extremely firm.
- Have you lost something? - Yes...
That paper, you see. I thought that I...
- You are George Banks, are you not? - What?
And you did advertise for a nanny, did you not?
- George Banks. - Very well, then.
I tore it up, turned it over, tore it up again and threw it in there. Yes.
I beg your pardon, are you ill?
I hope not.
Now, about my wages. The reference here is very obscure.
Very obscure.
We must be very clear on that point, mustn't we?
Yes, we must indeed.
- I shall require every second Tuesday off. - Every Tuesday...
On second thoughts, I believe a trial period would be wise.
I'll give you one week. I'll know by then.
I'll see the children now. Thank you.
Close your mouth please, Michael. We are not a codfish.
Well, don't stand there staring. Best foot forward.
Spit spot!
George?
George, what on earth are you doing? I thought you were interviewing nannies.
- I was, I was! - You mean you've selected one already?
- Yes, it's done, it's all done. - Well, where is she?
What? She's in the nursery, of course. I mean, I put her to work straight away.
How clever of you! I would have muddled the whole thing.
Tell me, is she everything that we'd hoped she'd be?
Well, it all happened rather quickly. I mean, I...
Will she be firm? Will she give commands?
Will she mold our young breed?
You know, Winifred, I think she will.
I think she will.
In that case, perhaps you'd better tell Ellen to dismiss the others.
The others? Oh, yes.
- Ellen? - Yes, sir?
Tell the other applicants they may go. The position has been filled.
- The others, sir? - Yes, the others.
How many nannies does she think we need in this house?
The position has been filled.
I'm afraid the nursery isn't very tidy.
It is rather like a bear pit, isn't it?
- That's a funny sort of bag. - Carpet.
- You mean to carry carpets in? - No. Made of.
This is your room, and there's a lovely view of the park.
Well, it's not exactly Buckingham Palace.
Still, it's clean.
Yes, I think it will be quite suitable.
Just needs a touch here and there.
Well, first things first.
I always say, the place to hang a hat is on a hat stand.
This will never do!
I much prefer seeing all of my face at the same time.
But there was nothing in it.
Never judge things by their appearance.
Even carpetbags. I'm sure I never do.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
A little more light, perhaps.
We'd better keep an eye on this one. She's tricky.
She's wonderful.
Much better!
Now, let me see.
That's funny. I always carry it with me. It must be here somewhere.
- What? - My tape measure.
- What do you want it for? - I want to see how you two measure up.
Well, that's the funniest thing I ever saw. I know it's down here somewhere.
Here it is.
Good. Come along, then. Quickly.
Head up, Michael. Don't slouch.
Just as I thought. Extremely stubborn and suspicious.
- I am not! - See for yourself.
"Extremely stubborn and susp..."
Suspicious.
Now you, Jane.
Rather inclined to giggle. Doesn't put things away.
How about you?
Very well. Hold this for me.
As I expected. "Mary Poppins. Practically perfect in every way."
Mary Poppins! Is that your name? It's lovely.
Thank you. I've always liked it.
- Now, shall we get on with it? - Get on with what?
In your advertisement, did you not specifically request to play games?
- Oh, yes! - Very well, then.
Our first game is called Well Begun Is Half Done.
I don't like the sound of that.
Otherwise entitled, Let's Tidy Up the Nursery.
I told you she was tricky.
- Shall we begin? - It is a game, isn't it, Mary Poppins?
Well, it depends on your point of view.
You see, in every job that must be done there is an element of fun.
You find the fun, and snap! The job's a game.
And every task you undertake becomes a piece of cake
A lark, a spree
It's very clear to see
That a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along
For a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
The honeybees that fetch the nectar from the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip from every flower that they sip
- And hence... - And hence...
- They find... - They find...
Their task is not a grind
Cheeky.
Don't be all day about it, please.
Let me out! Let me out!
Let me out!
Well, that was very...
Thank you, now...
When you've quite finished!
Thank you.
That will be quite sufficient. Hats and coats, please.
It's time for our outing in the park.
I don't want an outing. I want to tidy up the nursery again.
Enough is as good as a feast. Come along, please.
Let me look at you. Well, you're not as well turned out as I'd like.
Still, there's time. There's time.
Spit spot! And off we go.
For a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In the most delightful way

Hello, art lovers.
Today I'm a screever And as you can see
A screever's an artist...
Of highest degree
And it's all me own work from me own memory
Well, not Royal Academy, I suppose.
Still, they're better than a finger in the eye, ain't they?
Chim chiminy, chim chiminy chim chim cheroo
I draws what likes and I likes what I drew
No remuneration do I ask of you
But me cap would be glad of a copper or two
Me cap would be glad of a copper or two
Wait! Don't move.
Don't move a muscle.
Stay right where you are.
I'd know that silhouette anywhere! Mary Poppins!
It's nice to see you again, Bert. I expect you know Jane and Michael.
Well, I've seen 'em here and about. Chasin' a kite last time, weren't it?
Mary Poppins is taking us to the park.
To the park? Not if I know Mary Poppins. Other nannies take children to the park.
When you're with Mary Poppins, suddenly you're in places you've never dreamed of.
And quick as you can say "Bob's your uncle,"
the most unusual things begin to happen.
I'm sure I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.
Well, mind, it's not my place to say, but what she's probably got in mind
is a jolly holiday somewheres or other.
Something along these lines, I shouldn't be surprised.
Punting on the Thames.
That's always good if you like an outing. Here we go.
The circus. How about a lovely circus? Lions and tigers.
World-famous artistes performing death-defyin' feats
of dexterity and skill before your very eyes.
Oh, that's lovely. If you please, I'd much rather go there.
Beautiful, ain't it? A typical English countryside
as done by a true and lovin' hand.
Though you can't see it, there's a little country fair
down that road and over the hill.
I don't see any road.
What? No road?
Just wants a bit of somethin' here...
and a bit of somethin' there.
There. A country road suitable for travel and high adventure.
Please, may we go, Mary Poppins? Please?
Such a lovely place. Don't you think it's lovely, Mary Poppins?
Now's the time, Mary Poppins. No one's lookin'.
Please, Mary Poppins. Please!
I have no intention of making a spectacle of myself, thank you.
All right, I'll do it myself.
- Do what? - Bit of magic.
- A bit of magic? - It's easy.
Let's see... You think.
You wink.
You do a double blink.
You close your eyes and jump.
Is something supposed to happen?
Bert, what utter nonsense!
Why do you always complicate things that are really quite simple?
Give my your hand, please, Michael. Don't slouch.
One, two...
Mary Poppins, you look beautiful.
- Do you really think so? - Cross my heart you do.
- Like the day I met ya. - You look fine too, Bert.
I thought you said there was a fair.
So I did. Down the road and behind the hill, remember?
Come on! I hear the merry-go-round.
- Tell 'em Bert sent ya. - Don't fall and smudge the drawing.
Ain't it a glorious day
Right as a mornin' in May
I feel like I could fly
Now, Bert. None of your larking about.
Have you ever seen the grass so green?
Or a bluer sky
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary
- Mary makes your heart so light - You haven't changed a bit, have you?
When the day is gray and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright
Oh, honestly!
Oh, happiness is bloomin' all around her
The daffodils are smilin' at the dove
When Mary holds your hand, you feel so grand
Your heart starts beatin' like a big brass band
You are lightheaded.
It's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary
Mary makes your heart so light
When the day is gray and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright
Oh, happiness is bloomin' all around her
The daffodils are smiling at the dove
When Mary holds your hand, you feel so grand
Your heart starts beatin' like a big brass band
It's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love
- Thank you. - Our pleasure, Mary Poppins.
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert
- Gentlemen like you are few - A vanishing breed, that's me.
Though you're just a diamond in the rough, Bert
- Underneath, your blood is blue - Common knowledge.
You'd never think of pressing your advantage
Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed
True.
A lady needn't fear when you are near
Your sweet gentility is crystal clear
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert
Ajolly, jolly holiday with you
Waiter! Waiter?
Now then, what'd be nice?
We'll start with raspberry ice
And then some cakes and tea
- Order what you will - There'll be no bill
It's complimentary
You're very kind.
- Anything for you, Mary Poppins. - You're our favorite person.
Right you are.
It's true that Mavis and Sybil have ways that are winnin'
And Prudence and Gwendolyn set your heart spinnin'
Phoebe's delightful, Maude is disarming
- Janice? - Felicia?
- Lydia? - Charming
cynthia's dashing, Vivian's sweet Stephanie's smashing, Priscilla a treat
- Veronica - Millicent
- Agnes - And Jane
convivial company time and again
Dorcas and Phyllis and Glynis are sorts, I'll agree they're three jolly good sports
But cream of the crop Tip of the top
Is Mary Poppins And there we stop
When Mary holds your hand, you feel so grand
Your heart starts beatin' like a big brass band
It's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love
Our own private merry-go-round.
Very nice. Very nice, indeed...
if you don't wanna go nowhere.
Who says we're not going anywhere?
Oh, guard!
Righto, Mary Poppins.
Thank you.
They're off! It's Mary Poppins leadin' by two lengths.
Jane is second by a length. Michael third...
My horse is the fastest.
Do you hear that, mate? Do you wanna put up with that?
That's the ticket! Come on, my lad. Is that the best you can do?
- Hurry up, boy. Hurry up! - Not so fast, please. Michael!
Now really, Bert. You're as bad as the children.
Sorry. Whoa, boy! Whoa!
Easy, boy. Whoa. Whoa.
Just a bit of high spirits, Mary Poppins.
Please control yourself. We are not on a racecourse.
Follow me, please.
- Good morning. - Oh, yes, quite. Wha...?
I say!
Have you... ever...
Never!
View halloo!
Oh, yes, definitely. A view halloo.
View halloo?
Faith and begorra! 'Tis them redcoats again!
View halloo! View halloo!
View halloo!
Oh, musha, musha.
Poor little bloke. Let's give him a hand.
Saints preserve us!
Yikes!
Tally ho!
Up you go. Now hang on.
Would you look at that now? 'Tis an elegant merry-go-round horse.
Come on and fight, you dirty omadhauns! I can lick the lot of ya's.
Faster, me beauty! Faster!
Oh, riders? Would you be so kind as to let me pass?
Certainly, ma'am.
- Thank you. - Not at all, ma'am.
Excellent time, gentlemen.
- Oh, yes, quite. - Perfect day for it, of course.
Oh, how nice.
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Hold still now. Watch for the dickie bird.
How does it feel, Mary Poppins, winning the race?
- Oh, well, I... - Gaining fame and fortune?
Yes...
Having your picture taken for the newspaper?
Oh, naturally I'm delighted.
Besides having your extreme good looks, if I may say so.
Well, I wouldn't go...
There probably aren't words to describe your emotions.
Now, now, now, now, gentlemen, please.
On the contrary, there's a very good word.
- Am I right, Bert? - Tell 'em what it is.
Right!
It's supercalifragilistic-expialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious
Um diddle diddle diddle, um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle, um diddle ay
Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad
Me father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word that saved me achin' nose
The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes
Oh, supercalifragilistic-expialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious
Um diddle diddle diddle, um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle, um diddle ay
He traveled all around the world, and everywhere he went
He'd use his word and all would say There goes a clever gent
When dukes and maharajahs passed the time of day with me
I'd say me special word and then they'd ask me out to tea
Oh, supercalifragilistic-expialidocious
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious
Um diddle diddle diddle, um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle, um diddle ay
You know, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpiistic-fragilcalirupus.
- But that's going too far, don't you think? - Indubitably.
So when the cat has got your tongue there's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully or it could change your life
- For example... - Yes?
One night I said it to me girl, and now me girl's me wife.
And a lovely thing she is too.
