Mary Poppins: When trying to express oneself, it's frankly quite absurd, To leaf through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word. A little spontaniaty keeps conversation keen, You need to find a way to say, precisely what you mean... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrosicous! If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious, Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Mary Poppins: When Stone Age men were chatting, merely grunting would suffice. Bert: Now if they heard this word, they might have used it once or twice! Mrs. Corry: I'm sure Egyptian pharoahs would have grasped it in a jiff, Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph; Oh! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious! Mary Poppins: Add some further flourishes, it's so ro-co-co-coscious! Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Bert: The Druids could have carved it on their mighty monoliths! Mrs. Corry: I'm certain the ancient Greeks would have used it in their midst! Mary Poppins: I'm sure the Roman Empire only entered the abyss, Because those Latin scholars never had a word like this! Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Mary Poppins: If you say it softly the effect can be hypnoscious! Bert: Check your breath before you speak, in case it's halitotious! Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Mary Poppins (spoken): Of course you can say it backwards, which is Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus! Michael (spoken): She may be tricky, but she's bloody good! Mary Poppins: 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! Bert: Pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen vowels as well, And put them in an order which is very hard to spell... Mary Poppins: S-u-p-e-r C-a-l-i-f- R-a-g-i-l- Jane and Michael: I-s-t-i-c-e-x-p-i-a-l-i-d-o-c-i-o-u-s! Ensemble: S-u-p-e-r C-a-l-i-f- R-a-g-i-l- I-s-t-i-c-e-x-p-i-a-l-i-d-o-c-i-o-u-s! S-u-p-e-r C-a-l-i-f- R-a-g-i-l- I-s-t-i-c-e-x-p-i-a-l-i-d-o-c-i-o-u-s! S-u-p-e-r C-a-l-i-f- R-a-g-i-l- I-s-t-i-c-e-x-p-i-a-l-i-d-o-c-i-o-u-s! Bert (spoken): Here we go! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atroscious! If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious, Supercalifragilistic- Jane and Michael: Supercalifragilistic- Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! [Thanks to Eric Hamilton for corrections] Back to main page: Mary Poppins Lyrics
