MARY POPPINS] Super... calif... ragil... istic... expialid... ocious!
[MICHAEL] That's not a word.
[MARY POPPINS] Of course it's a word. And unless I'm very much mistaken, I think it's going to prove a rather useful one. When trying to express oneself it's frankly quite absurd To leap through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word A little spontaneity keeps conversation keen You need to find a way to say precisely what you mean
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
[MARY POPPINS] It can mean exactly what you want it to. When stone age men were chatting simply grunting would suffice
[BERT] Though if they'd heard this word they might 'ave used it once or twice
[MARY POPPINS] That's right.
[MRS CORRY] I'm sure Egyptian pharoahs would have grasped it in a jiff Then every single pyramid would bear this heiroglyph Oh supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious
[MARY POPPINS] Add some further flourishes it's so rococcococious
[MARY POPPINS] Of course, you can say it backwards, which is suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus.
[BERT] She may be tricky, but she's bloody good.
[MARY POPPINS] So when the cat has got your tongue there's no need for dismay Just summon up this word and then you've got a lot to say
[BERT] Just pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen vowels as well And put them in an order which is very 'ard to spell
