If you want this choice position, Oh, happiness is bloomin' all around her Have a cheery disposition. The daffodils are smilin' at the dove Rosie cheeks, No warts, When Mary holds your hand That's the part I put in. You feel so grand Play games, all sorts Your heart starts beatin' like You must be kind, you must be witty. A big brass band! a jolly holiday with Mary Very sweet and fairly pretty Oh, No wonder that it's Mary that we love! “Feed the Birds” Come feed the little birds, “Spoonful full of sugar” Show them you care (Mary Poppins) And you'll be glad if you do In every job that must be done Their young ones are hungry There is an element of fun Their nests are so bare You find the fun and snap! All it takes is tuppence from you The job's a game Feed the birds, tuppence a bag And every task you undertake Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag Becomes a piece of cake “Chim Chim Cher-ee” A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim down cher-ee . A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be The medicine go down-wown Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim The medicine go down cher-oo Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with down you In a most delightful way Or blow me a kiss And that's lucky too .
