Lyrics
Film Version= Mary: It's... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it Is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough You'll always sound precocious

All (variously): Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!

Bert: Because I was afraid to speak When I was just a lad My father gave me nose a tweak And told me I was bad But then one day I learned a word That saved me achin' nose

Both: The biggest word I ever heard And this is how it goes, Oh: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it Is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough You'll always sound precocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!

Mary: He traveled all around the world And everywhere he went He'd use his word and all would say "There goes a clever gent."

Bert: When Dukes and maharajas Pass the time of day with me I say me special word and then They ask me out to tea

All (variously): Oh! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it Is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough You'll always sound precocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!

Mary (spoken): You know, you can say it backwards, which is Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupes But that's going a bit too far, don't you think?

Bert (spoken): Indubitably

Mary: So when the cat has got your tongue There's no need for dismay Just summon up this word And then you've got a lot to say But better use it carefully Or it could change your life

Busker (spoken): For example Mary (spoken): Yes? Busker (spoken): One night I said it to me girl And now me girl's my wife! Ow! And a lovely thing she is, too

All (variously): She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Mary: When trying to express oneself, it&apos;s frankly quite absurd, To leaf through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word.
 * -|Broadway Version=

A little spontaniaty keeps conversation keen, You need to find a way to say, precisely what you mean...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrosicous! If you say it loud enough, you&apos;ll always sound precocious,

Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Mary: When Stone Age men were chatting, merely grunting would suffice.

Bert: Now if they heard this word, they might have used it once or twice!

Mrs. Corry: I&apos;m sure Egyptian pharaohs would have grasped it in a jiff, Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph;

Oh! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious!

Mary: Add some further flourishes, it&apos;s so ro-co-co-coscious!

Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Bert: The Druids could have carved it on their mighty monoliths!

Mrs. Corry: I&apos;m certain the ancient Greeks would have used it in their midst!

Mary: I&apos;m sure the Roman Empire only entered the abyss, Because those Latin scholars never had a word like this!

Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Mary: If you say it softly the effect can be hypnoscious!

Bert: Check your breath before you speak, in case it&apos;s halitotious!

Ensemble: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye

Mary (spoken): Of course you can say it backwards, which is Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus!

Michael (spoken): She may be tricky, but she&apos;s bloody good!

Mary: So when the cat has got your tongue, there&apos;s no need for dismay! Just summon up this word and then you&apos;ve got a lot to say!

Bert: Pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen vowels as well, And put them in an order which is very hard to spell...
