Brimstone And Treacle (Part 2) Lyrics

MICHAEL
Perhaps she’s killed everyone. Perhaps they’re… all dead.

Bird song

JANE
What's that?

MARY POPPINS
It's a caged bird!

Bird song

MARY POPPINS
Did she? Well, frankly, that’s not a surprise!

Bird song

MARY POPPINS
Locked in this cage and not free in the skies!

Bird song

MARY POPPINS
For two years? How shameful!

Bird song

MARY POPPINS
Yes, of course. That’s a field I know well.

Bird song

MARY POPPINS
An hour, no longer. Your wings will grow stronger. Once you are freed from this cell.

JANE
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!

Bird song

MARY POPPINS
My pleasure. Oh, don’t mention it.

MRS ANDREWS
Spoken
So, children. You’ve decided to come crawling back, have you?
Well, I think we know what’s needed now!
Sung
Brimstone and treacle, my favorite liquor.
That will make runaways stop! Impudent children respond so much quicker
when forced to drink every last drop.

MARY POPPINS
Spoken
Is this what you’re looking for?

MRS ANDREWS
Spoken
Who are you?

MARY POPPINS
I’m Mary Poppins.

MRS ANDREWS
Mary Poppins! But you left… without notice.

MARY POPPINS
And I’ve come back without notice.

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

MARY POPPINS
Pack.

MRS ANDREWS
Pack!!
Sung
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
Mishandled charges blow up in your face!

MRS ANDREWS
I brought up their father

MARY POPPINS
Well, that I don’t doubt! You must be so proud, at the way he turned out.

MRS ANDREWS
A shining example, a pillar…

MARY POPPINS
A post! They all have their problems, but him more than most!

MRS ANDREWS
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. Brimstone and treacle for you. Brimstone and treacle for you.

MARY POPPINS
Just a spoonful of sugar! Just a spoonful of sugar! Just a spoonful of sugar!

MARY POPPINS
I recognize fully that you are a bully
Who views cruel deeds as a perk.
Well then, now here’s a catch, because you’ve met your match!
Brimstone and treacle

MRS ANDREWS
Brimstone and treacle will work!

MARY POPPINS
Won't work!

MRS ANDREWS
AAAAH!!!
