Friday Break – Mary Poppins Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Song

Just for your ears delight and your legs moving without your consent, here’s a cheerful tune I’m sure all of you have (at least) heard talking about.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Song from 1964 Mary Poppins film, magically interpreted by Julie Andrews is one little piece of art I’d sing at and for any age. Of course the lyrics are posted just after the clip. Feel free to sing along, it’s (as usual) therapeutic!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay / Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay / Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! / Even though the sound of it / Is something quite atrocious / If you say it loud enough / You’ll always sound precocious /
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay / Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

Because I was afraid to speak / When I was just a lad / Me father gave me nose a tweak
And told me I was bad / But then one day I learned a word / That saved me aching nose\ The biggest word you’ve ever heard / And this is how it goes:

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! / Even though the sound of it / Is something quite atrocious / If you say it loud enough / You’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay / Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

He traveled all around the world / And everywhere he went / He’d use tis word and all would say: / “There goes a clever gent” / When dukes refused to pass the time of day with me / I’d say me special word / And then they’d offer a cup of tea!

Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! / Even though the sound of it / Is something quite atrocious / If you say it loud enough / You’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay / Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

You know, you can say it backwards / Which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus,
But that’s going a bit to far, / Don’t you think? / Indubitably! / So when the cat has got your tongue / There’s no need for dismay / Here, here! / Just summon up this word
And then you’ve got a lot to say / But better use it carefully / Or it may change your life
Um, for example? / Yes?
One night I said it to me girl / And now me girl’s my wife! / Oh, and a lovely thing she is to!

She’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! / Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious / Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
