Song by Laura Michelle Kelly<br /><br>

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>

BERT:<br>

R<br>

<br>

MARY POPPINS:<br>

C-A-L-I-F<br>

<br>

BERT: <br>

F<br>

<br>

MARY POPPINS:<br>

R-A-G-I-L<br>

<br>

JANE AND MICHAEL:<br>

I-S-T-I-C-E-X-P-I-A-L-I-D-O-C-I-O-U-S!<br>

<br>

BERT:<br>

(mutters) Clever clogs…<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

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!<br>

S-U-P-E-R<br>

C-A-L-I-F<br>

R-A-G-I-L<br>

I-S-T-I-C-E-X-P-I-A-L-I-D-O-C-I-O-U-S!<br>

S-U-P-E-R<br>

C-A-L-I-F<br>

R-A-G-I-L<br>

I-S-T-I-C-E-X-P-I-A-L-I-D-O-C-I-O-U-S!<br>

<br>

BERT: <br>

(speaking) Here we go!<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>

<br>

JANE AND MICHAEL:<br>

Supercalifragilistic<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!<br>

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!<br>

<br>
