The Country Bear Musical Jamboree features an instrumental version by Ernest (who is dressed as Bert for the number), who fiddles it so fast that the strings are starting to smoke.

Mary:
It's...
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious

All (variously):
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!

Bert:
Because I was afraid to speak
when I was just a lad,
my father gave me nose a tweak
and told me I was bad
But then one day, I learned a word
that saved me achin' nose
Both:
The biggest word you 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!

All (variously):
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay!

Mary:
He traveled all around the world
and everywhere he went,
he'd use his word and all would say
"There goes a clever gent."

Bert:
When Dukes and maharajahs pass
the time of day with me,
I say me special word and then
they ask me out to tea

All (variously):
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!

Mary (spoken):
You know, you can say it backwards, which is
"Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupes"
But that's going a bit too far, don't you think?

Bert (spoken):
Indubitably.

Mary:
So when the cat has got your tongue,
there's no need for dismay
Bert:
Here here!
Mary:
Just summon up this word and then
you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully
or it could change your life
Busker (spoken): For example...
Mary (spoken): Yes?
Busker (spoken): One night I said it to me girl,
And now me girl's my wife!
Ow! And a lovely thing she is, too!
Busker (sung): She's...

All (variously):
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Mary (spoken):
Super… calif… ragilistic… expialid… ocious! Oh!

Michael (spoken):
That's not a word!

Mary (spoken):
Of course it's a word. And unless I'm very much mistaken, I think it's going to prove a rather useful one.

(sung)
When trying to express oneself, it's frankly quite absurd
To leaf through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word.
A little spontaneity keeps conversation keen
You need to find a way to say precisely what you mean...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,
even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious,
if you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious,
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Ensemble:
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay,
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay,

Jane (spoken):
But it doesn't mean anything!

Mary (spoken):
It can mean exactly what you want it to!

(sung)
When Stone Age men were chatting, merely grunting would suffice,

Bert:
Though if they heard this word, they might have used it once or twice.

Mrs. Corry:
I'm sure Egyptian pharaohs would have grasped it in a jiff,
then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph!

Oh!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,
Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious!

Mary:
Add some further flourishes, it's so ro-co-co-cocious!

Ms. Corry:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

Mary Poppins:
Ah-ah-ah!

Bert:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-

Ensemble:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay,
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay,
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay,
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay

Bert:
The druids could have carved it on their mighty monoliths,

Mrs. Corry:
The ancient Greeks, I'm certain, would have used it in their myths.

Mary:
I'm sure the Roman Empire only entered the abyss,
because those Latin scholars never had a word like this!

Ensemble:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,

Mary:
If you say it softly, the effect can be hypnotious.

Bert:
Check your breath before you speak, in case it's halitotious!

Ensemble:
(spoken) Yuck!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay,
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay,
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay,
Um diddle-iddle-iddle, um diddle-ay!

Mary (spoken):
Of course, you can say it backwards, which is suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus!

Michael (spoken):
She may be tricky, but she's bloody good!

Mary:
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.

Bert:
Pick out those eighteen consonants,
add sixteen vowels as well,
And put them in an order which is very hard to spell...

Mary:
S-U-P-E-R

Bert:
R...

Mary:
C-A-L-I-F

Bert:
F...

Mary:
R-A-G-I-L

Jane and Michael:
I-S-T-I-C-E-X-P-I-A-L-I-D-
O-C-I-O-U-S!

Bert (spoken):
Smarty pants!

Ensemble:
S-U-P-E-R
C-A-L-I-F
R-A-G-I-L
I-S-T-I-C-E-X-P-I-A-L-I-D-O-C-I-O-U-S!

Bert: (spoken) Here we go!

Ensemble:

If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious!
Supercalifragilistic-

("Anything Can Happen" verse with cheering and applause heard in the background)
If you reach for the stars
All you get are the stars
But we've found a whole new spin
If you reach for the heavens
You get the stars thrown in

Anything can happen, it's a marvel,
You can be a butterfly,
Or just stay larval,
Stretch your mind beyond fantastic,
Dreams are made of strong elastic!

Go and chase your dreams, you won't regret it!
Anything can happen
Anything can, anything can happen-

("Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" verse)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious!
If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious!

Supercalifragilistic-
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

Oh! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

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

So when the cat has got your tongue,
there's no need for dismay

And now me girl's my wife!

Мэри Поппинс:

И, Суперкалифраджилистикэкспиалидошес, если я с ловцом подобным с кем то переброшусь, в ситуации любой не опростоволошусь, Суперкалифраджилистикэкспиалидошес.

Вместе:

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

Берт:

Был малый молчаливый я и в разговор не лез Отец таскал меня за нос твердя что я балбес Я слово выучил одно и нос мой был спасен

Берт и Мэри Поппинс:

И мы сейчас как раз его для вас произнесем И, Суперкалифраджилистикэкспиалидошес, если я с ловцом подобным с кем то переброшусь, в ситуации любой не опростоволошусь, Суперкалифраджилистикэкспиалидошес.

Вместе:

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

Мэри Поппинс:

Он это слово тут и там небрежно повторял И всех кругом своим умом конечно покорял

Берт:

И царь, и князь словечко то услышав в невзначай Бросая все свои дела зовут меня на чай!

Берт и Мэри Поппинс:

Вместе:

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay

Мэри Поппинс:

Когда бессильны все слова не плачь и не грусти А вдруг длиннейшее из слов пора произнести Но только знай, большая сила в нем заключена
