Jane (speaking): It is a game isn't it Mary Poppins?
Mary Poppins (speaking) : Well, it depends on your point of view. You see...
(kinda, sing-speaking)In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job's a game
(now singing)
And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that...
A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
(Robin starts Whistling)
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
(Robin whistles a bit with Mary)
For a Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
[Interlude where all the toys go about putting themselves away as the children snap and the Robin whistles away. It seems so magical and I wish I can spring clean this way too...]
The honey bees that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
From every flower that they sip
And hence (Mary's reflection echoes: And hence),
They find (Mary's reflection echoes: They find)
(together) Their task is not a grind.
(the reflection alone) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
(Mary spoken to the mirror) Cheeky! (now to the children) Don't be all day about it please
Michael (yelling from inside the closet): Let me out! Let me out!
Mary (spoken to the toys): Well, that was very... Thank you now... Will you quite finish! Thank you.
Bflygal comments: I have always wanted to watch Mary Poppins esp as I have been in Melbourne for as long as the broadway has been here... but I can never find the excuse to spend the money on a theatre ticket. So I did the next best, I chose to watched Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins and what fun I had. A spoonful of sugar is what I really needed to cheer myself up.
It's been a long time since I watched a show. Perhaps my brother leaving Melbourne has made my room a tad too quiet and thus today (the 2nd day of the quiet day), I decided to waste my bandwidth and watched Mary Poppins. At least is better than watching TV.. only he can take the humour of 2 and a half man and South Park and etc.
And as usual I like this song best. Although I always thought it was a spoon full of sugar haha.. And I did not know that Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious originated from Mary Poppins haha. Trying to say this word in a breadth really makes one lightened up tremendously.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! It is time for me to shower...
p/s: that was written in 24th Feb 2011...hmm I forgot to publish it till I watched it again on 7th Jul 2011 in SG as I came back for my brother's commencement. Realized I actually had a copy in my HDD when I was clearing space haha...
and I was seeing this scene
Mr. Banks: Just a moment, Mary Poppins. What is the meaning of this outrage?
Mary Poppins: I beg your pardon?
Mr. Banks: Will you be good enough to explain all this?
Mary Poppins: First of all, I would like to make one thing quite clear.
Mr. Banks: Yes?
Mary Poppins: I never explain anything.
[exits]
Cool.. sometimes I wanna be just like that. Never explain anything. Do as I wish hee hee.. Just recently CL asked me why am I back in SG.. while I explained is because of my brother's commencement.. I thought over it a few days later and asked myself, is there really a reason why I must fly back? Just because my visa expects me to only be in Australia for max 90 days? And when my work visa gets approve, does that mean I am no longer expected to be back in SG? My Sri Lankan lady says it best when she told my PM, I do have the flyback option, I just don't utilise it. Because she has her hubby with her in Melbourne. But my family is still in SG, thus going back home is something I should do, without any special reason.
Anyway the reprise of A spoonful of Sugar is also lovely
A Man Has Dreams
[George Banks]
A man has dreams of walking with giants
To carve his niche in the edifice of time
Before the mortar of his zeal
Has a chance to congeal
The cup is dashed from his lips
The flame is snuffed aborning
He's bought to rack and ruin in his prime
[Bert]
Life is a rum goal, guv'nor, and that's the truth
[George Banks]
You know what I think?
It's that woman, Mary Poppins
From the moment she stepped into this house
Things began to happen to me!
[Bert]
Mary Poppins?
[George Banks]
Yes, yes of course
My world was calm, well ordered, exemplary
Then came this person with chaos in her wake
And now my life's ambitions go with one felled blow
It's quite a bitter pill to take
It's that Poppins women, she did it!
[Bert]
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
[George Banks]
See, that's exactly what I mean
Changing bread and water into tea and cakes, indeed!
No wonder everything's higgledy piggledy here
[Bert]
A spoonful of sugar goes a long, long way
Have yourself an healthy helping every day
An healthy helping and crubble if you ask me
[George Banks]
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
[Bert]
Tricked you in to taking the children on an outing?
[George Banks]
Yes
[Bert]
Outrageous!
A man of 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
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, good-bye, guv'nor
Sorry for your troubles
And lastly, Mary Poppins taught me never to make piecrust promise.
Easily made, easily broken.
It took me quite a few months to finally realise that if some people is sincere to pass you the photos, they will really do it at the first opportunity like how my previous apartment owner did. And some people, when she said she would but forgot it the very next moment no matter how many times I asked... I decided, is not worth keeping the photos too. Hmm talking about that though, I got other people to chase photos for when I'm back in Melbourne again haha...
