George (spoken) I used to dream that when I grew up I'd learn everything there was to know about the stars. It's funny, I haven't thought about all that in years. I'm not usually sentimental. Bert (spoken): S' good to look back sometimes. George: (spoken): Is it? I'm not so sure (sung): A man has dreams of walking with giants To carve his niche in the edifice of time Before the mortar of his zeal Has a chance to congeal (spoken): The cup is dashed from his lips The flame is snuffed aborning He's brought to rack and ruin in his prime Bert (spoken): Life's a rum go, Guv'nor, and that's the truth. George (spoken): Do you know what I think? It's Mary Poppins! From the moment she stepped into the house, things began to happen to me! Bert (spoken): Mary Poppins eh? George (spoken): Yes, yes, of course! (sung): My world was calm, well ordered, exemplary Then came this person, with chaos in her wake And now my life's ambitions go with one fell blow It's quite a bitter pill to take (spoken): It's that Poppins woman! She's responsible for all this! Bert (spoken): I know the very person. 'Ere, what's the thing she's always saying? (sung): A spoonful of sugar that is all it takes It changes bread and water into tea and cakes George (spoken): There you see, that's exactly what I mean! Changing bread and water into tea and cakes indeed! No wonder everything's coming unstrung around here! Bert: A spoonful of sugar goes a long, long way 'Ave yourself a 'ealthy 'elpin' ev'ry day George (spoken): A healthy helping of trouble if you ask me! Bert (spoken): Like you say, Guv'nor. (sung): You've got to grind, grind, grind At that grindstone Though child'ood slips like sand through a sieve And all too soon they've up grown And then they've flown And it's too late for you to give Just that spoonful of sugar To 'elp the medicine go down The medicine go down, the medicine go down. (spoken): Well good luck, Guv'nor. George (spoken): Thank you, Bert. And good luck to you too. [Thanks to Bethany for lyrics] Back to main page: Mary Poppins Lyrics
