[MR. BANKS, spoken]
That is quite enough tommy rot for one day!
Would you please go upstairs and let me get to work?

(sung)
I might have guessed
The wind is blowing
And it's an easterly, it's bound to bring a chill
I'm underdressed
I must be going
Fetch my gloves and scarf or I'll be later still!

Where's my hat?
He's brushed in with boot polish!

[WOMEN + CHILDREN]
Precision and order

[ALL]
That's all that I ask
The running of a household
A straightforward task
The children, the servants, they're all your domain

[MR. BANKS]
Whilst I remain the sovereign -
(spoken)
Mind you use your day well

[MRS. BANKS, sung]
You remain the sovereign

[MR. BANKS, spoken]
I should be home at six o'clock sharp!

[WOMEN + CHILDREN]
He remains the sovereign
