Lin-Manuel Miranda
The Royal Doulton Music Hall
[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 ovation-al-
[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
[instrumental]
[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
