[BERT, spoken]
All that it takes is a spark
And something as plain as a park becomes -
A wonderland!
(sung)
All you 'ave to do is look anew
Then you'll understand
Why it's a jolly holiday with Mary
Mary makes your 'eart so light
[MARY POPPINS, spoken]
Oh, really
[BERT, sung]
When the day is grey and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright!
[MARY POPPINS, spoken]
You do talk nonsense Bert!
[BERT, sung]
Oh happiness is bloomin' all around 'er
Daffodils are smilin' at the dove
[MARY POPPINS, spoken]
I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about
[BERT, sung]
When Mary holds your hand -
[MARY POPPINS, spoken]
Bert -
[BERT, sung]
You feel so grand
Your 'eart starts beating like a big brass band
[MARY POPPINS, spoken]
You've got enough brass for all of us
[BERT, sung]
Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!
(spoken)
Come along you two
[JANE AND MICHAEL, sung]
Boring!
Just like other nannies
Thinking parks are good for us
It's just statues, ducks, and grannies
I don't understand all the fuss!
[JANE]
Is she doing it to spite us?
[MICHAEL]
We could lose her for a lark!
[JANE]
Perhaps its all a plot
I'll tell you what
[MICHAEL]
She seemed so different
[JANE AND MICHAEL]
But I bet she's not
There is nothing to excite us
In...the...park...
[MICHAEL, spoken]
Who are you?
[Neleus, spoken]
I'm Neleus - and I thought Mary Poppins would never let me get down from this plinth!
[BERT, sung]
Ain't it a glorious day
Right as a mornin' in May?
[NELEUS]
I feel like I could fly
Have you ever seen the grass so green?
[MARY POPPINS, spoken]
Oh Bert!
(sung)
Or a bluer sky?
[BERT & NELEUS]
Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary
[BERT]
Better days I've never known
You can ask the passing statuary
[STATUES]
Nothing's ever set in stone
[BERT, spoken]
You're looking tip-top from top to toe, if I may say so!
[MARY POPPINS]
Thank you Bert, and you may
[STATUES, sung]
Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!
[BERT, spoken]
Oi! Do you think Neleus is looking a bit timid today?
[MICHAEL]
No, why?
[BERT]
I knew him when he was a little boulder -
A little boulder - aha!
(sung)
To see a statue dance like that, you can't believe your eyes
You fear you've lost your marbles, but a thinker thinks you're wise
So you should hasten, call a mason, tell him what you've seen
If he knows his craft, he'll think you daft but we'll know what you mean!
[STATUES]
Oh its a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!
[BERT]
Now Notre Dame can cause alarm and I've me own hunch why
The gargoyles need to gargle, 'cause their throats get rather dry!
And just between us - I know Venus has a vice that shocks!
She often drinks with a Sphinx who winks, is neat and on the rocks
[STATUES]
Oh its a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!
[BERT]
Let's go, for a jaunty saunter
You are bound to make your mark
Looks like all of you were born to take a promenade in the park
With those finely chiseled features
You can look down from above!
Each man out with his dog
Will stand agog
To see a statue take a gentle jog!
It's no wonder that it's Mary
That we love!
[STATUES]
Love!
Love!
[BERT]
No wonder that it's Mary that we love
[MARY POPPINS]
It's a jolly holiday with you Bert
Gentlemen like you are few
Though you're just a diamond in the rough, Bert
Underneath your blood is blue
[STATUES]
Your blood is blue!
[MARY POPPINS]
You'd never think of pressing your advantage
Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed!
A lady needn't fear when you are near
Your sweet gentility is crystal clear
[STATUES]
Is crystal clear!
[MARY POPPINS + STATUES]
Oh it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert
A jolly, jolly holiday with you!
[STATUES]
With you!
(Together)
[FEMALE STATUES, JANE, MICHAEL]
Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with Mary
Mary makes your heart so light
When the day is grey and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright
Oh, happiness is blooming all around her
The daffodils are smiling at the dove
[MALE STATUES, BERT]
Let’s go for jaunty saunter
We are bound to make our mark
Looks like all of us were all born to
Take a promenade in the park
With our finely-chiseled features
We can look down from above
[ALL]
When Mary holds your hand
You feel so grand!
Your heart starts beating like a big brass band!
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary!
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!
