Admiral Boom



Admiral Boom is a deleted song from Mary Poppins. It was to be the theme song for the cannon-firing neighbor of the Banks Residence, but it was cut by Walt Disney as being unnecessary. The melody of the song remains in the film, and the bombastic theme is heard whenever Boom appears onscreen. One line from this song ("The whole world takes its time from Greenwich, but Greenwich, they say, takes its time from Admiral Boom!") is spoken by Bert early in the film.

Lyrics
Who in the royal navy establish that ricked time

That ferrous flexible enterable notice tea?

Admiral Boom!

Time is my being my watch-worth punctuality

Though the world takes its time from Greenwich,

Greenwich takes its time from me.

Admiral Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom

The name for punctuality you may safely assume

Safely assume, sume, sume, sume, sume, sume, sume

It's more throughout the Admiral tea. Me, Admiral Boom.
