[MICHAEL] Perhaps she’s killed everyone. Perhaps they’re all dead.
[JANE] What’s that?
[MARY POPPINS] It’s a caged bird!
Did she, well frankly, that’s not a surprise Locked in this cage and not free in the skies For two years? How shameful Yes, of course, that’s a field I know well An hour, no longer Your wings will grow stronger Once you are free from this cell
[MICHAEL] What kind of bird is it?
[MARY POPPINS] A lark. You are seeing a lark in a cage for the first time, and the last. My pleasure. Oh, don’t mention it.
[MISS ANDREW] So, children. You’ve decided to come crawling back, have you? Well, I think we know what’s needed now. Brimstone and treacle, my favourite liquor That will make runaways stop Impudent children respond so much quicker When forced to drink every last drop
[MARY POPPINS] Is this what you’re looking for?
[MISS ANDREW] Who are you?
[MARY POPPINS] I’m Mary Poppins.
[MISS ANDREW] Mary Poppins? But you left. Without notice.
[MARY POPPINS] And I’ve come back without notice.
[MISS ANDREW] I see. And what do you expect me to do?
[MARY POPPINS] Pack.
[MISS ANDREW] Pack?! Silly little girl with your new-fangled methods I bring up children so they know their place Standing for tradition I govern my charges
[MARY POPPINS] Mishandled charges blow up in your face
[MISS ANDREW] I brought up their father
[MARY POPPINS] Well that I don’t doubt You must be so proud At the way he turned out
[MISS ANDREW] A shining example, a pillar
[MARY POPPINS] A post They all have their problems But him more than most
[MISS ANDREW] You’ve let my little lark out of his cage Now you will bear the full brunt of my rage Brimstone and treacle for you Brimstone and treacle for you
[MARY POPPINS] Just a spoonful of sugar
[MISS ANDREW] Brimstone and treacle for you
[MARY POPPINS] Just a spoonful of sugar
[MISS ANDREW] Brimstone and treacle for you
[MARY POPPINS] Just a spoonful of sugar Ah…
[MARY POPPINS vs MISS ANDREW] Ah… Ah…
[MARY POPPINS] I recognise fully That you are a bully Who views cruel deeds as a perk Well, now here’s a catch Because you’ve met your match Brimstone and treacle
