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>
