Mary Poppins movie - A British Bank lyrics

rate me

<br>

Mr. Banks:<br>

A British bank is run with precision<br>

A British home requires nothing less!<br>

Tradition, discipline, and rules must be the tools<br>

Without them - disorder! Chaos!<br>

Moral disintegration!<br>

In short, we have a ghastly mess!<br>

<br>

Mary Poppins:<br>

I quite agree!<br>

<br>

Mr. Banks:<br>

The children must be molded, shaped and taught<br>

That life's a looming battle to be faced and fought<br>

<br>

If they must go on outings<br>

These outings ought to be<br>

Fraught with purpose, yes and practicality!<br>

These silly words like superca...<br>

Superca... superca...<br>

<br>

Mary Poppins:<br>

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!<br>

<br>

Mr. Banks:<br>

Yes, well done, you said it!<br>

<br>

And popping through pictures<br>

Have little use, fulfill no basic need!<br>

They've got to learn the honest truth<br>

Despite their youth<br>

They must learn...<br>

<br>

Mary Poppins:<br>

About the life you lead!<br>

<br>

Mr. Banks:<br>

Exactly!<br>

<br>

Mary Poppins:<br>

They must feel the thrill of totting up a balanced book<br>

A thousand ciphers neatly in a row<br>

When gazing at a graph that shows the profits up<br>

Their little cup of joy should overflow!<br>

<br>

Mr Banks:<br>

Precisely!<br>

<br>

Mary Poppins:<br>

It's time they learned to walk in your footstep<br>

<br>

Mr Banks:<br>

My footsteps!<br>

<br>

Mary Poppins:<br>

To tread your straight and narrow path with pride<br>

<br>

Mr Banks:<br>

With pride!<br>

<br>

Mary Poppins:<br>

Tomorrow, just as you suggest pressed and dressed<br>

Jane and Michael will be at your side.<br>

<br>
