Brimstone And Treacle Part 2

Mary Poppins


[MICHAEL] 
Perhaps she's killed everyone. Perhaps they're all dead. 

[JANE] 
What's that? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
It's a caged bird! 

Did she, well frankly, that's not a surprise 
Locked in this cage and not free in the skies 
For two years? 
How shameful 
Yes, of course, that's a field I know well 
An hour, no longer 
Your wings will grow stronger 
Once you are free from this cell 

[MICHAEL] 
What kind of bird is it? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
A lark. You are seeing a lark in a cage for the first time, and the last. My pleasure. Oh, don't mention it. 

[MISS ANDREW] 
So, children. You've decided to come crawling back, have you? Well, I think we know what's needed now. 
Brimstone and treacle, my favourite liquor 
That will make runaways stop 
Impudent children respond so much quicker 
When forced to drink every last drop 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Is this what you're looking for? 

[MISS ANDREW] 
Who are you? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
I'm Mary Poppins. 

[MISS ANDREW] 
Mary Poppins? But you left. Without notice. 

[MARY POPPINS] 
And I've come back without notice. 

[MISS ANDREW] 
I see. And what do you expect me to do? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Pack. 

[MISS ANDREW] 
Pack?! 
Silly little girl with your new-fangled methods 
I bring up children so they know their place 
Standing for tradition I govern my charges 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Mishandled charges blow up in your face 

[MISS ANDREW] 
I brought up their father 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Well that I don't doubt 
You must be so proud 
At the way he turned out 

[MISS ANDREW] 
A shining example, a pillar 

[MARY POPPINS] 
A post 
They all have their problems 
But him more than most 

[MISS ANDREW] 
You've let my little lark out of his cage 
Now you will bear the full brunt of my rage 
Brimstone and treacle for you 
Brimstone and treacle for you 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Just a spoonful of sugar 

[MISS ANDREW] 
Brimstone and treacle for you 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Just a spoonful of sugar 

[MISS ANDREW] 
Brimstone and treacle for you 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Just a spoonful of sugar 
Ah… 

[MARY POPPINS vs MISS ANDREW] 
Ah… 
Ah… 

[MARY POPPINS] 
I recognise fully 
That you are a bully 
Who views cruel deeds as a perk 
Well, now here's a catch 
Because you've met your match 
Brimstone and treacle 

[MISS ANDREW] 
Brimstone and treacle 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Brimstone and treacle 

[MISS ANDREW] 
Brimstone and treacle 

[MARY POPPINS & MISS ANDREW] 
Won't work
