And we cut to the home. Mr. Banks is coming home
And he enters the house with his paper and hat
And dusts his overcoat, telling her it's his
I'm home. Then he goes in with his newspaper. Nobody there at home
To greet me. I'm, oh, and it's grumbling again, you see? And, uh
Then Mrs. Banks can appear with his slippers very gently. And he
Can say to her, "Oh." It's all grumbling, you see? And then he's
Always a very sweet man at heart. He sees her come in with his
Slippers. And he says, "Well, how'd it go today?" with a new one
She says, "Oh, darling. I could just come in." And she puts her
Slippers down very sweetly. She's a terribly sweet person. And you
Must remember that Mr. Banks does, uh, let his, let his nerves run
Away with him, you see? But it must be a loving pair. But he doesn't
Show her anything yet. "Well, darling. I just got home." That
Instant, uh, the children and Mary Poppins enter the front door
And the mother says, "Well, darling. Did you have a lovely day with
Mary Poppins?" "Oh, yes. First of all, we went and we heard those
People come with pearl buttons. And then we had, saw, saw the ladies
With feathers in their hats. And Mary Poppins had a lovely big
Feather. And there was birds. And then we went to the seaside and on
The merry-go-round. And we came back and look! We got a shell
And a starfish." Mrs. Banks is ready to indulge their imagination
You see. "Shells? Starfish? She's fifty miles from here
What does— What do you mean? Show me them." "Oh, they're just
Dolls." "But they were! They were real! They were real!"
And Mary is saying, "Time for bed. Just about now." "No, but
I don't want to go to sleep." "Very well then," says Mary Poppins
"Don't go to sleep." And that gives the cue for your song
