Adrian D. Holmes, AJ Jenks, David Zeppieri, Manuela Zanetti, Micaela Franco and Zavi Fossick - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Adrian (spoken):
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

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

Adrian (spoken):
Why of course it's a word!
And unless I'm very much mistaken
I think it will prove to be a rather useful one.

You see,

Adrian:
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

Adrian:
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.

Adrian:
Add some further flourishes, it's so ro-co-co-coscious!

Mrs. Corry:
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Adrian:
Ah-ah-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!

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

Ensemble:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Adrian:
If you say it softly the effect can be hypnotious!

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

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

Adrian (spoken):
Of course you can say it backwards, which is Suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus!

Spectator (spoken):
He may be tricky, but he's bloody good!

Adrian:
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 and sixteen vowels as well,
And put them in an order which is very hard to spell...
