Super... calif... ragil... istic... expialid... ocious!
- 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 leap 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-diddle-um-diddle-ay
- But it doesn't mean anything!
- It can mean exactly what you want it to
Diddle-diddle-diddle-um-diddle-ay
When stone age men were chatting
Simply grunting would suffice
Though if they'd heard this word
They might 'ave used it once or twice
That's right!
I'm sure Egyptian pharaohs would have grasped it in a jiff
Then every single pyramid would bear this heiroglyph
Oh
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Say it and wild animals would not seem so ferocious
Add some further flourishes it's so rococcococious
Ah
Ah
Ah ah ah ah
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
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
- Oh, Bert!
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
- Of course, you can say it backwards
Which is suoicodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus
- She may be tricky
But she's bloody good
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
Pick out those eighteen consonants
And sixteen vowels as well
And put them in an order
Which is very 'ard to spell

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