MARY POPPINS:<br>
Super… calif… ragilistic… expialid… ocious! Oh!<br>
<br>
MICHAEL:<br>
That’s not a word!<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
(speaking) Of course it’s a word. And unless I’m very much mistaken, I think it’s going to prove a rather useful one. <br>
(singing) When trying to express oneself, it’s frankly quite absurd<br>
To leaf through lengthy lexicons, to find the perfect word.<br>
A little spontaneity keeps conversation keen<br>
You need to find a way to say precisely what you mean.<br>
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious<br>
Even though the sound of it is simply quite atrocious<br>
If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious<br>
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
<br>
JANE:<br>
(speaking) But it doesn’t mean anything!<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
(speaking) It can mean precisely what you want it to!<br>
(singing) When stone-age men were chatting, simply grunting would suffice.<br>
<br>
BERT:<br>
Though if they’d heard this word, they might have used it once or twice.<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
(speaking) That’s right.<br>
<br>
MRS. CORRY:<br>
I’m sure Egyptian pharaohs would have grasped it in a jiff.<br>
Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph! Oh!<br>
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious<br>
Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
Add some further flourishes, it’s so <br>
<br>
MRS. CORRY<br>
Ahhh<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS<br>
Ahhhh<br>
<br>
BERT: <br>
Ah-ah-ah-ah.<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
<br>
BERT:<br>
The Druids could have carved it on their mighty monoliths<br>
<br>
MRS. CORRY:<br>
The ancient Greeks, I’m certain, could have used it in their myths.<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
I’m sure the Roman Empire only entered the abyss<br>
Because those Latin scholars never had a word like this!<br>
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
If you say it softly, the effect can be hypnocious. <br>
<br>
BERT:<br>
Check your breath before you speak, in case it’s halitotious <br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
(speaking) Oh, Bert.<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay<br>
Um diddle um diddle um diddle ay!<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
Of course, you can say it backwards, which is suoicodiliaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus.<br>
<br>
MICHAEL:<br>
She may be tricky, but she’s bloody good!<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
So when the cat has got your tongue, there’s no need for dismay.<br>
Just summon up this word and then you’ve got a lot to say.<br>
<br>
BERT:<br>
Pick out those 18 consonants and 16 vowels as well<br>
And put them in an order, which is very hard to spell…<br>
<br>
MARY POPPINS:<br>
S-U-P-E-R<br>

<br>
ALL:<br>
(Singing) Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!<br>
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious<br>
If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious<br>
Supercalifragilistic<br>

JANE AND MICHAEL:<br>
Supercalifragilistic<br>
