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
(spoken)
            Cmaj7                               Fm7
The cup is dashed from his lips, the flame is snuffed aborning.

   F                                     Cmaj7  F
He's brought to wreck and ruin in his prime.

Life is a rum go, Guv'nor, and that's the truth
(MR. BANKS, spoken)
        C                       Cmaj7
Do you know what I think? It's that woman Mary Poppins!

                     F                                         G
From the moment she stepped into the house, things began to happen to me!

Mary Poppins?

Yes, yes, of course!
[Chorus] (MR. BANKS, sung)
  C                                 G
My world was calm, well-ordered, exemplary

C             G                          C
Then came this person, with chaos in her wake
[Verse]
    C              Cmaj7     C7     F         D7
And now my life's ambitions go with one fell blow

      C             F  G     C
It's quite a bitter pill to take

It's that Poppins woman! She did it!
(BERT, spoken)
  Cmaj7                                      F
I know the very person you mean. Mary Poppins, she's the one wot sings:
(sung)
   G#                      D#7
A spoonful of sugar, that is all it takes

   G#                        D#7
It changes bread and water into tea and cakes
(MR. BANKS, spoken)
                           G#
See that's exactly what I mean!
Changing bread and water into tea and cakes indeed!
                                F#7
No wonder everything's higgledy-piggledy here!
[Chorus] (BERT)
  B                    F#7
A spoonful of sugar goes a long, long way

D7                           G7          C
'Ave yourself a 'ealthy 'elpin ev'ry day
(spoken) An 'ealthy 'elping of trouble if you ask me! (MR. BANKS, spoken)
                      Cmaj7
You know what she did? I realize it now!

 F                                                  Cmaj7
She tricked me into taking Jane and Michael to the bank.

                            F
That's how all the trouble started!
(BERT, spoken) Tricked you into taking the children on an outing? (MR. BANKS, spoken) Yes. (BERT, spoken)
                Cmaj7               F                           Cmaj7         F
"Outrageous!" A man with all the important things you have to do. "Shameful!"
[Bridge] (BERT, spoken)
         G#7                      D#7
You're a man of 'igh position, esteemed by your peers
(sung)
          G#                               G#7     D#                 F7  G#m  D#7
And when your little tykes are cryin', you 'aven't time to dry their tears

    B                        B7    F#7
And see them grateful little faces smilin' up at you

   Dm                 G#7                G
Because their dad, 'e always knows just what to do
(spoken)
F
Like you say, Guv'nor...
[Chorus] (BERT, sung)
G7            Cmaj7                       G
You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone

                         Dm7     G7           C   G7 B7 Em
Though child'ood slips like sand through a sieve

             C      Cmaj7        C7
And all too soon they've up and grown

     F            G#7
And then they've flown

      C             Fmaj7 Em  C   Em F C
And it's too late for you to give

B7        G7                            C
Just that spoonful of sugar to 'elp the medicine go down

    G7                C
The medicine go down, medicine go down
(spoken)
B7        G7                                      Dm
Welp, goodbye Guv'nor. Sorry to have troubled you.
(Whistling)
