The song "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" comes from the 1964 Walt Disney musical "Mary Poppins", starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

The musical is based on the series of Mary Poppins books by author P L Travers. The movie was directed by Robert Stevenson and the songs were written and composed by Richard M Sherman and Robert B Sherman.

This particular song was performed by Julie Andrews (as Mary) and Dick van Dyke (as Bert).

When the musical was produced on Broadway and in the West End, the words were altered to cater for the cast on stage.

The lyrics go like this :

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

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

Because I was afraid to speak

When I was just a lad

Me father gave me nose a tweak

And told me I was bad

But then one day I learned a word

That saved me aching nose

The biggest word you've 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

He traveled all around the world

And everywhere he went

He'd use this word and all would say:

"There goes a clever gent"

When dukes refused to pass the time of day with me

I'd say me special word

And then they'd offer a cup of tea!

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

You know, you can say it backwards

Which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus,

But that's going a bit to far,

Don't you think?

Indubitably!

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 may change your life

Um, for example?

One night I said it to me girl

And now me girl's my wife!

Oh, and a lovely thing she is to!

She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
