wake
And now my life's ambitions go
With one fell blow
It's quite a bitter pill
To take.
It's that Poppins woman!
She did it!
I know the very person you mean.
Mary Poppins.
She's the one what sings...
A spoonful of sugar
That is all it takes
It changes bread and water
Into tea and cakes
You see? That's exactly what I mean!
Changing bread and water
into tea and cakes! Indeed!
No wonder everything's
higgledy-piggledy here.
A spoonful of sugar
Goes a long, long way
Have yourself a healthy helpin'
Every day
An healthy helpin' of trouble,
if you ask me.
Do you know what she did?
I realize it now.
She tricked me into taking
Jane and Michael to the bank.
That's how all the trouble started.
- Tricked you into taking
the children on an outing?
- Yes.
Outrageous!
A man with all the important
things you have to do. Shameful!
You're a man
of high position.
Esteemed by your peers.
And when your little
tykes are cryin'
You haven't time
to dry their tears
And see them
grateful little faces
Smilin' up at you
Because their dad
He always knows just what to do
- Well, I mean, look, I,
I don't think I ca...
- Like you say, guv'nor.
You've got
to grind, grind, grind
At that grindstone
Though childhood slips
Like sand through a sieve
And all too soon
they've up and grown
And then they've flown
And it's too late
For you to give
Just that spoonful of sugar
To help the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Well, goodbye, guv'nor.
Sorry to have troubled you.
Father?
We're sorry about the tuppence.
We didn't know it would
cause you so much trouble.
Here, Father,
you can have the tuppence.
Will that make everything all right?
Thank you.
Come in!
Take your hat off, Banks.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Well, get on with it. Go on.
Uh, yes, Father.
In 1773, an official
of this bank...
unwisely loaned
a large sum of money...
to finance a shipment of tea
to the American colonies.
- Do you know what happened?
- Yes, sir. Yes, I think I do.
Uh, uh, as the ship lay
in Boston Harbor...
uh, a party of the colonists
dressed as red Indians...
uh, boarded the vessel,
behaved very rudely, and,
and threw all the tea overboard.
This made the tea
unsuitable for drinking...
even for Americans.
Precisely.
The loan was defaulted.
Panic ensued within these walls.
There was a run on the bank!
From that time to this, sir...
there has not been
a run on this bank...
until today!
A run, sir, caused by the
disgraceful conduct of your son.
- Do you deny it?
- I do not deny it, sir.
And I shall be only too glad
to assume responsibility for my son.
- What are you waiting for?
Get on with it!
- Uh, y-yes, Father.
- No, not that!
- Steady on.
Well, do you have
anything to say, Banks?
Well, sir,
they do say that...
when there's nothing to say,
all you can say i...
Confound it, Banks! I said,
do you have anything to say?
- Just one word, sir.
- Yes?
Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious.
What?
Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious.
Mary Poppins was right.
It's extraordinary.
It does make you feel better!
What are you talking about, man?
There's no such word.
Oh, yes. It is a word.
A perfectly good word, actually.
Do you know what there's
no such thing as?
It turns out, with due respect,
when all is said and done...
that there's
no such thing as you!
- Impertinence, sir!
- Speaking of impertinence...
would you like to hear
a perfectly marvellous joke?
- A real snapper!
- Joke? Snapper?
Yes. There are these two wonderful
young people, Jane and Michael.
And they meet one day on the street,
and Jane says to Michael...
"I know a man with
a wooden leg named Smith."
And Michael says, "Really?
What's the name of his other leg?"
The man's gone mad.
Call the guard!
Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious.
I'm feeling better all the time!
Banks, don't you dare
strike my father!
There's the tuppence.
The wonderful, fateful...
