Lyrics
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Ha!
That's not a word!
Of course, it's a word
And unless I'm very much mistaken
I think it's going to prove a rather useful one
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!
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye (but it doesn't mean anything!)
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye (it can mean exactly what you want it to)
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
When Stone Age men were chatting, simply grunting would suffice
Now if they heard this word, they might have used it once or twice! (That's right)
I'm sure Egyptian Pharaohs would have grasped it in a jiff (mm)
Then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph
Oh!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious!
Add some further flourishes, it's so rocococoscious!
Ah
Ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
The Druids could have carved it on their mighty monoliths! (Oh, yeah)
The ancient Greeks I'm certain would have used it in their myths!
I'm sure the Roman Empire only entered the abyss
Because those Latin scholars never had a word like this!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
If you say it softly the effect can be hypnotious!
Check your breath before you speak, in case it's halitotious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
