Brimstone and Treacle (part 2) - London Cast Recording Songtext

Perhaps shes killed everyone. Perhaps theyre all dead.

Bird song.

Whats that?

Its a caged bird!
Bird song

Did she? Well, frankly, thats not a surprise!

Locked in this cage and not free in the skies
For two years? How shameful!

Yes, of course. Thats a field I know well

An hour, no longer. Your wings will grow stronger. Once you are freed from this cell.
What kind of bird is it?

A lark. You are seeing a lark in a cage for the first time and the last!

My pleasure. Oh, dont mention it.
(Speaking) So, children. Youve decided to come crawling back, have you? Well, I think

We know whats needed now!

(Singing) Brimstone and treacle, my favorite liquor. That will make runaways stop!
Impudent children respond so much quicker

When forced to drink every last drop!

(Speaking)Is this what youre looking for?
(Speaking) Who are you?

Im Mary Poppins.

Mary Poppins! But you left without notice.
And Ive come back without notice.

I see. And what do you expect me to do?

Pack.
Pack!!

(Singing) Silly little girl, with your newfangled methods. I bring up children so
They know their place! Standing by
Tradition, I govern my charges
MARY POPPINS:
(Singing) Mishandled charges blow up in your face!
I brought up their father
Well, that I dont doubt! You must be so proud, at the way he turned out.
A shining example, a pillar
A post! They all have their problems, but him more than most!
Youve 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.
Just a spoonful of sugar! Just a spoonful of sugar! Just a spoonful of sugar!
(They ahhh for a while)
I recognize fully that you are a bully
Who views cruel deeds as a perk.
Well then, now heres a catch, because youve met your match!
Brimstone and treacle
Brimstone and treacle will work!
Wont work!
AAAAH!!!
