Original London Cast of Mary Poppins
Anything Can Happen
[MARY POPPINS]
Anything can happen if you let it
Sometimes things are difficult -
But you can bet it
Doesn't have to be so -

[JANE]
Changes can be made

[MICHAEL]
You can move a mountain if you use a larger spade!

[MARY POPPINS]
Anything can happen -
It's a marvel

[JANE]
You can be a butterfly

[MICHAEL]
Or just stay larval

[JANE +MICHAEL]
Stretch your mind beyond fantastic
Dreams are made of strong elastic
[MARY POPPINS]
Take some sound advice and don't forget it

[MARY POPPINS, JANE + MICHAEL]
Anything can happen if you let it

[MRS. BANKS, spoken]
I wonder...

[MARY POPPINS, JANE + MICHAEL, sung]
Anything can happen if you let it

[MARY POPPINS]
You won't know a challenge
Until you've met it

[JANE]
No one does it for you

[MARY POPPINS]
No one but yourself
Vacillating violets get left up on the shelf

Anything can happen -
Just imagine
That should be my epitaph
I wear the badge in
Honor of this world's free thinkers
[MRS. BANKS]
Those who see beyond their blinkers

[JANE + MICHAEL]
Jelly isn't jelly

[MARY POPPINS, JANE + MICHAEL]
Til you set it

[MARY POPPINS, JANE, MICHAEL + MRS. BANKS]
Anything can happen if you let it

[MARY POPPINS]
Anything can happen if you let it
What good is a whistle?

[BERT]
Unless you wet it?

[MARY POPPINS + BERT]
Broaden your horizons

[BERT]
Open different doors

[MARY POPPINS + BERT]
You may find a new you there
That you never knew was yours!
[BERT]
Anything can happen

[MRS. CORRY]
Raise the curtain!
Things you thought impossible

[MRS. CORRY + BERT]
Will soon seem certain
Thought at first it may sound clownish
See the world more -
Upside-downish
Turn it on its head
Then pirouette it!
Anything can happen if you let it

[MARY POPPINS]
If you reach for the stars
All you get are the stars
But we found a whole new spin
If you reach for the heavens

[ALL]
You get the stars thrown in your reach!

If you reach for all the stars
All you get are the stars
But we've found a whole new spin!
If you reach for the heavens
You get the stars thrown in -

Anything can happen if you let it
Life is out there waiting -
So go and get it
Grab it by the collar
Seize it by the scruff
Once you've started living life
You just can't get enough!

Anything can happen
It's official
You can choose the super or the superficial
Sally forth the way
We're steering -
Obstacles start disappearing
Go and you chase your dreams
You won't regret it
Anything can happen
Anything can happen

[JANE + MICHAEL]
Anything can happen -

[ALL]
If you let it!
