Brimstone and Treacle (Part 2) Lyrics by Original London Cast of Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins (Original London Cast)

2005

[JANE, spoken]
Perhaps she's killed everyone, perhaps they're all dead!
[MICHAEL]
What's that?
[MARY POPPINS]
It's a caged bird!
(Speaking with the bird, sung)
Oh did she, oh frankly that's not a surprise
Locked in this cage and not free in the skies?
For two years?
How shameful!
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
[MICAHEL, spoken]
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!
(sung)
Brimstone and treacle my favorite liquor
That's going to make runaways stop!
Imprudent children respond so much quicker
When forced to drink every last drop!
[MARY POPPINS, spoken]
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 came back without notice
[MISS ANDREW]
I see. And what do you expect me to do?
[MARY POPPINS]
Pack
[MISS ANDREW]
Pack!?
(sung)
Silly little girl with your newfangled methods
I bring up children so they know their place!
Standing by tradition
I govern my charges
[MARY POPPINS]
Miss handled 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
Of 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]
Ah! 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 -
Brimstone and treacle for you!
[MARY POPPINS]
Just a spoonful of sugar -
Aah - aah - aah - aah!
[BOTH]
Aah - aah - aah - aah!
Aah - aah - aah - aah!
[MARY POPPINS]
Aah - aah - aah - aah!
[MISS ANDREW]
Aah - aah - aah - aah!
[BOTH]
Aah - aah - aah - aah!
Aah - aah - aah - aah!
[MARY POPPINS]
I recognize fully
That you are a bully
Who views cruel deeds as a perk!
Well then, now here's a catch
Because you've met your match!
Brimstone and treacle
[MISS ANDREW]
Brimstone and treacle will work!
[MARY POPPINS]
Won't work!
[MISS ANDREW]
Aah - aah - aah
Aaahh!!
