Marmalade Lyrics — Paddington

Marmalade

[MR. CURRY]
Golden as the sun
When it's going down
It's like a dollop of Peru
Plopped right here in London town

[PADDINGTON]
If the situation's sticky
And you don't know what to do
Nothing will get you through like
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade

[MR. CURRY]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade...

[PADDINGTON]
You can use any ordinary orange
Just squeeze out the juice
Then you add a lot of sugar
And when it's done you've just made

[MR. CURRY]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade
[PADDINGTON]
Marvellous in every way!
You can even leave the peel in

[MR. CURRY]
Nothing else is more appealin'

[PADDINGTON & MR. CURRY]
Than ma-ma-ma-ma-marmalade

[PADDINGTON]
Add a pinch of this
Spread a bit on that
It's always wise to keep a sandwich
Just under your hat

[MR. CURRY]
It doesn't matter where you come from
Or how far you roam
One bite and you will know
There's no taste like home
When it's-

[MR. CURRY & ENSEMBLE]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade
[MR. CURRY]
If your lunch has got no flavour
And you wish it would end
Do you tongue a little favour
And try this, my friend
It's called-

[PADDINGTON, MR. CURRY & ENSEMBLE]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade
Marvellous in everyway!

[MR. CURRY]
I don't know if I should admit it
I'd take a sticky shower in it

[PADDINGTON, MR. CURRY & ENSEMBLE]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-marmalade

[HANK THE PIGEON, spoken]
Ohhh, I can't believe me mince pies, it's only bloomin' marmalade!
Oh, go on, gis' a beakful!

[PADDINGTON]
Feels like yesterday, miles away
Dear Aunt Lucy was teaching me recipes
[MR. CURRY]
And if only she saw you now, she'd be proud
You've made something that's flavourful
This citrus-y spectacle
It's miraculous!

[PADDINGTON, MR. CURRY & ENSEMBLE]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade

[MR CURRY]
Marmalade!

[ENSEMBLE]
Marmalade!

[MR CURRY]
Marmalade!

[ENSEMBLE]
Marmalade!

[MR CURRY]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-marmalade!

[ENSEMBLE]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-marmalade!

[PADDINGTON, MR. CURRY & ENSEMBLE]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade

[PADDINGTON]
If you're ever in a pickle
And your day's looking grim
Give your tum a little tickle and
Let [?] in, it's a-

[PADDINGTON, MR. CURRY & ENSEMBLE]
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ma-ma-ma-marmalade
Marvellous in everyway!

[MR. CURRY]
There's no use trying to compare it

[PADDINGTON]
It's great to share if you can *bear* it

[PADDINGTON, MR. CURRY & ENSEMBLE]
This ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
Mar-ma-lade!
