Lyrics Lin–Manuel Miranda – The Royal Doulton Music Hall
Text:
SEAMUS:
Now where would we all like to go on this fine, fine day?
MARY POPPINS:
The Royal Doulton Music Hall, please
JOHN:
Where?
GEORGIE:
What’s that?
MARY POPPINS:
We’re on the brink of an adventure, children
Don’t spoil it with too many questions
In the nursery, you were never by yourself
There was quite another world upon your shelf
JACK:
Hold on!
MARY POPPINS:
Where each day crowds make their way upon the sun’s descent
To a mythical, mystical, never quite logistical tent
Yes in this dearly dynamical
Simply ceramical Royal Doulton bowl
There’s a cuddly and curious
Furry and furious animal watering hole
Where the monkeys and hummingbirds
Know the tunes and the words
Every beast large and small
Loves the very top drawer-able, always encore-able
Royal Doulton Music Hall
SEAMUS:
Ooh, that one tickled my tail. Nearly there, Mary Poppins!
MARY POPPINS and JACK:
Marvelous, mystical, rather sophistical Royal Doulton bowl
JACK:
There’s a lot of birds queuing up, a lot of hams chewing up
Scenery they swallow whole
There are lots of cats tuning strings
MARY POPPINS:
Nightingales in the wings
Waiting for their big drum roll
JACK:
At the simply sensational
MARY POPPINS:
Standing ovational
MARY POPPINS, JACK, and CHILDREN:
Royal Doulton Music Hall
SEAMUS:
Here we are!
ANNABEL:
But where’s the music hall?
MARY POPPINS:
Oh yes- that. Silly me
WOLF:
Step right up! Step right up!
CHILDREN:
Wow!
ANNABEL:
Goodness! How on Earth did she do that?
JACK:
One thing you should know about Mary Poppins — she never explains anything. Come on!
WOLF:
Hurry, hurry. Get tickets while you can. For the one night only, one and only — Mary Poppins! What an honor it is to have you join us this evening
MARY POPPINS:
Thank you
WOLF:
And who is this I see? Why, it’s John, Annabel and Georgie Banks!
JOHN:
You know us?
WOLF:
Of course! Everyone knows the Banks children. Hurry along now. Get yourself some peanuts and candyfloss and go right on in
May we Mary Poppins?
MARY POPPINS:
Yes- just keep away from the edge of the bowl
FLAMINGO DANCERS:
At the highly acclaimable, nearly untamable
Lavishly praisable, always roof-raise-able
Royal Doulton Music Hall
