More than just a magic nanny

Like most people, I have only watched Julie Andrew's "The Sound of Music" (playing Maria) and the "Princess Diaries" (playing the Queen) in recent years, and encountered this 1964 musical "Mary Beaubins". (Marry Poppins) It really makes people happy.

From when Mary descended from the sky to Banks's house under an umbrella, to knowing all the requirements of Mr. Banks for the nanny (nanny), Julie interprets the "magic nanny" in this children's series. After being hired, she slid from the handrail of the stairs to the second floor like a straight ladder, and sat in front of the two stunned children. Then, in the messy nanny room, "take out" pieces of "luggage" from your own duffel bag-hangers, large mirrors, large plant pots, floor lamps...

GAME 1: WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE.

In ev'ry job that must be done
There is an element of fun
you find the fun and snap!
The job's a game

And ev'ry task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! Aspree!
It's very clear to me

That a...
Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his
Bits of twine and twig

Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song
Will move the job along

For a...
Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

GAME 2: GO TO THE PARK

Ain't it a glorious day
Ripe as a morning in May
I feel like I could fly
Have you ever seen the grass so green
Or a bluer sky

Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary
Mary makes your heart so light
When the day is gray and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright
Oh happiness is blooming all around her
The daffodils are smiling at the dove
When Mary holds your hand you feel so grand
Your heart starts beating like a big brass band
Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love

It's a jolly holiday with you, Bert
Gentlemen like you are few
Though you're just a diamond in the rough , Bert
Underneath your blood is blue
You'd never dream of pressing your advantage
Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed
A Lady need Not Fear When you are near
Your Sweet gentility IS Crystal Clear
Oh IT apos A Jolly Holiday with you, Bert
A Jolly Jolly Holiday with you

the Um Diddle Diddle Diddle UM Diddle AY
the 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 to speak
When I was just a lad My 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 I 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
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
But better use it carefully Or it may change your life
One night I said it to me girl
And now me girl's my wife!
She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Mary Poppins quotes

  • Horseman: [saluting] View halloo!

    Horse: [also saluting] Oh, yes, definitely. A view halloo.

    Fox: View halloo?

    [the horseman blows his bugle and the others pursue the fox]

    Fox: Faith and begora, 'tis them Redcoats again!

  • Jane: Oh, Bert, we're so frightened.

    Bert: Now, now, don't take on so. Bert will take care of you. Like I was your father. Now, who's after you?

    Jane: Father is.

    Bert: What?

    Michael: He brought us to see his bank.

    Jane: I don't know what we did, but it must have been something dreadful.

    Michael: He sent the police after us, and the army, and everything.

    Jane: Michael, don't exaggerate.

    Bert: Well now, there must be some mistake. Your dad's a fine gentleman and he loves you.

    Jane: I don't think so. You should have seen the look on his face.

    Michael: He doesn't like us at all.

    Bert: Well now, that don't seem likely, does it?

    Jane: It's true.

    Bert: Let's sit down. You know, begging your pardon, but the one my heart goes out to is your father. There he is, in that cold heartless bank day after day, hammed in by mounds of cold heartless money. I don't like to see any living thing caged up.

    Jane: Father in a cage?

    Bert: They makes cages of all sizes and shapes, you know. Bank-shaped, some of them, carpets and all.

    Jane: Father's not in trouble. We are.

    Bert: Oh. Sure about that, are you? Look at it this way. You've got your mother to look after you and Mary Poppins and Constable Jones and me. Who looks after your father? Tell me that. When something terrible happens, what does he do? Fends for himself, he does. Who does he tell about it? No one. Don't blab his troubles at home. He just pushes on at his job, uncomplaining and alone and silent.

    Michael: He's not very silent.

    Jane: Michael, be quiet. Bert, do you think father really needs our help?

    Bert: Well, it's not my place to say. I only observe that a father can always do with a bit of help. Come on, I'll take you home.
