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:

Yes in this
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
