Mary Poppins Page #11

Mrs. Banks:

Chimney. How clever of you to know. Our drawing room chimney's in the most ghastly condition.

Smokes incessantly.

Bert:

W-w--

Mrs. Banks:

Thank you so much!

Bert:

But--

Mrs. Banks:

Besides, it'll amuse the children.

Bert:

The Lord Mayor's gonna be terrible put out.

Mrs. Banks:

Oh, thank you so much. I do appreciate it. I must hurry. Our gallant ladies in prison are waiting

for me to lead them in song! Good-bye, my darlings. See you soon.

Bert:

I choose me bristles with pride, yes, I do

A broom for the shaft

And a brush for the flue

Jane:

Oh, it's awfully dark and gloomy up there.

Bert:

There now. You see how wrong people can be? That there is what you might call a doorway to

a place of enchantment.

Up where the smoke is all billowed and curled

'Tween pavement and stars

Is the chimney sweep world

When there's hardly no day

Nor hardly no night

There's things half in shadow

And halfway in light

On the rooftops of London

Coo, what a sight.

Jane:

I do wish we could go up there.

Michael:

So do I! I like chimneys.

Bert:

Oh, rightly so! A chimney is a wondrous thing. She's built tall right up there on the roof. When

the wind is just right, it blows across her top, then draws the smoke right up the flue. Here. Feel

the pull on the end of that brush. It's like I got a whale on the end of the line, ain't it? Michael,

Mary Poppins:

Be careful. You never know what may happen around a fireplace. Oh, bother!

Jane:

Michael! Michael, come back down here. Michael! Michael, where are you?

Bert:

Well, that's a bit awkward. I must say!

Mary Poppins:

Bert, I'll thank you to stop putting ideas in their heads! There goes the other one.

Bert:

Shall I go after 'em?

Mary Poppins:

Well, we can't have them gallivanting up there like kangaroos, can we?

Jane:

Michael, don't be frightened. Everything's going--

Mary Poppins:

Will you put your things on at once? Hurry up, please. Spit spot!

Bert:

Here you are! I thought you'd left us.

Jane:

We didn't mean to.

Bert:

Well, no harm done. The truth is, this is what you might call a fortuitous circumstance. Look

there. A trackless jungle just waiting to be explored. Why not, Mary Poppins?

Jane:

Oh, please, Mary Poppins?

Michael:

Please!

Mary Poppins:

Oh, well. If we must, we must. Fall in. Look lively, look lively. Jump to it! Jump to it! Get in line.

Attention! A-show arms! A-right turn! Quick march!

Michael:

Hello there!

Bert:

It's just good, clean soot, Michael.

Bert:

As far as we go, right?

Mary Poppins:

Not at all.

Bert:

What did I tell ya? There's the whole world at your feet. And who gets to see it, but the birds, the

stars and the chimney sweeps?

Mary Poppins:

Quite nice, but we should all get in out of the night air. Follow me, please.

Admiral Boom:

Aye, aye, sir.

Mr. Binnacle:

Aye, aye, sir!

in the world!
