When the early hours have come and gone
Through the misty morning showers
I greet the door
For when the light has hit the ground
There's lots of treasures to be found
Underneath the lovely London sky
Though the lamps are turning down
Please don't feel blue
For in this apart of London town
The light shines through
Don't believe the things you've read
You never know what's up ahead
Underneath the lovely London sky
Have a pot of tea
Mend your broken cup
There's a different point of view
Awaiting you
If you would just look up
I know
Yesterday you had to borrow from your chums
Seems the promise of tomorrow never comes
But since you dream the night away
Tomorrow's here
It's called today!
So count your blessings
You're a lucky guy
For your underneath the lovely London sky
Listen
Soon the slump will disappear
It won't be long
Sooner than you think you'll hear
Some bright real song
So hold on tight to those you love
And maybe soon from up above
You'll be bless so keep on looking high
While you're underneath the lovely London sky
Lovely London sky

Ben Whishaw - A Conversation
"We haven't spoken in so long dear,"
This year has gone by in a blur
Today seems everything's gone wrong here
I'm looking for the way things were
I know you'd laugh and call me tragic
For everything's in disarray
These rooms were always full of magic
That's vanished, since you went away
This house is crowded now with questions
And John's a walking questionnaire
And I could surely use a few suggestions
On how to brush our daughter's hair
When Georgie needed explanations
You always knew just what to say
And I miss our family conversations
It's silent, since you went away
Winter has gone
But not from this room
Snow's left the lane
But the cherry trees forgot to bloom
I'll carry on the way you told me
I say that like I have a choice
And though you are not here to hold me
In the echoes I can hear your voice
But still one question fills my day dear
The answer I most longed to know
Each moment since you went away dear
My question, Kate, is
"Where'd you go?"
This year has gone by in a blur

Emily Blunt, Nathanael Saleh, Joel Dawson, Pixie Davies and Léovanie Raud - Can You Imagine That?
John, you're right
It's good to know you're bright
For intellect can wash away confusion
Georgie sees
And Annabelle agrees
Most folderol's an optical illusion
You three know it's true
That one plus one is two
Yes, logic is the rock of our foundation
I suspect and I'm never incorrect
That you're far too old to give in to imagination
No, not yet
Some people like to splash and play
Can you imagine that?
And take a seaside holiday
Can you imagine that?
Too much glee leaves rings around the brain
Take that joy and send it down the drain
Some people like to laugh at life
And giggle through the day
They think the world's a brand new shiny toy
And if while dreaming in the clouds
They fall and go kersplatt
Although they're down and bent in half
They brush right off and start to laugh
Can you imagine that?
"On second thought, perhaps you're right, it makes no sense to take a bath this early"
"Wait, I want to take a bath"
"Oh, really? Up you go and in you go"
"Georgie, what happened, will I be alright?"
"Well, it is just a bath after all, but then again it's not my tub"
"Shouldn't you go in after them?"
"Oh no, I had my bath this morning, thank you"
"Well, if you won't, I will, whoa"
"Off we go"
Some people like to dive right in
Can you imagine that?
And flap about in bathtub gin
Can you imagine that?
Doggies paddling twenty leagues below
Might seem real but we know it's not so
To cook without a recipe
Can you imagine that?
And heaven knows what lives within that pot
Some pirates follow treasure maps
And wear a silly hat
They search the world for buried gold
They won't grow up and don't grow old
Can you imagine that?
Be sure to scrub behind your ears
Some answer when adventure calls
Can you imagine that?
And sail straight over waterfalls
Can you imagine that?
They see living as it's own reward (ahoy)
We rock the boat then (man overboard)
Some people look out on the sea
And see a brand new day
Their spirit lifts them high above the blue
Yet some others spear an anchor
And they sink in seconds flat
So, perhaps we've learned when day is done
Some stuff and nonsense could be fun
Can you imagine that?

Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Nathanael Saleh, Joel Dawson, Pixie Davies and Simon Faliu - The Royal Doulton Music Hall
(And where would we like to go on this fine, fine day?)
(The Royal Doulton Music Hall, please)
(Where?)
(What's that?)
(We're on the brink of an adventure, children)
(Don't spoil it with too many question)
In the nursery, you were never by yourself
There was quite another world upon your shelf (hold on)
Where each day crowds make their way upon the sun's descent
To a mythical, mystical, never quite logistical tent
Yes, in this
Dilly dynamical simply ceramical Royal Doulton bowl
There's a cuddly and curious, furry and furious animal watering hole
Where the monkeys and hummingbirds know the tunes and the words
Every beast large and small
Loves the very top drawable, always encorable Royal Doulton Music Hall
(Ooh, that one tickled my tail)
(Nearly there, Mary Poppins)
Yes in this
Marvelous, mystical, rather sophistical Royal Doulton bowl
There's a lot of birds queuing up, a lot of hams chewing up
Scenery they swallow whole
There are lots of cats tuning strings
Nightingales in the wings
Waiting for their big drum roll
At the simply sensational, standing ovational Royal Doulton Music Hall
(Here we are)
(But, where's the music hall?)
(Oh yes that, silly me)
(Step right up)
(Step right up)
(Wow)
(Goodness)
(How on Earth did she do that?)
(One thing you should know about Mary Poppins, she never explains anything)
(Come on)
(Hurry, hurry)
(Get tickets while you can, for the one night only, one and only)
(Mary Poppins, what an honor it is to have you join us this evening)
(Thank you)
(And who is this I see? Why, it's John, Annabel and Georgie Banks)
(You know us?)
(Of course, everyone knows the Banks children)
(Hurry along now, get yourself some peanuts and candyfloss and go right on in)
(May we, Mary Poppins?)
(Yes)
(Just keep away from the edge of the bowl)
At the highly unclaimable, nearly untamable
Lavishing, praisable, always rephrasable

Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda - A Cover Is Not The Book
[ Featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda ]
Uncle Gutenberg was a bookworm
And he lived on Charing Cross
The memory of his volumes brings a smile
He would read me lots of stories
When he wasn't on the sauce
Now I'd like to share the wisdom
Of my favourite bibliophile
He said a-
Cover is not the book
So open it up and take a look
'Cause under the covers one discovers
That the king may be a crook
Chapter titles are like signs
And if you read between the lines
You'll find your first impression was mistook
For a cover is nice
But a cover is not the book
Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ra-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ra-ta-ta-ta
Mary Poppins, could you give us an example?
Certainly
Nellie Rubina was made of wood
But what could not be seen was though
Her trunk up top was barren
Well, her roots were lush and green
So in Spring when Mr Hickory saw her blossoms blooming there
He took root despite her bark
And now there's seedlings everywhere
Which proves
A cover is not the book
So open it up and take a look
'Cause under the covers one discovers
That the king may be a crook
Chapter titles are like signs
And if you read between the lines
You'll find your first impression was mistook
For a cover is nice
But a cover is not the book
Should we do the one about the wealthy widow?
Oh, by all means
Always loved that one
Well, go on then
Lady Hyacinth Macaw
Brought all her treasures to a reef
Where she only wore a smile
Plus two feathers, and a leaf
So no one tried to rob her
'Cause she barely wore a stitch
For when you're in your birthday suit
There ain't much there to show you're rich
Oh, a cover is not the book
So open it up and take a look
'Cause under the covers one discovers
That the king may be a crook
Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ru-ra-la, ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ra-ta-ta
You'll find your first impression was mistook (Ya-da-da-da)
For a cover is nice
But a cover is not the book
Oh, give us the one about the dirty rascal, why don't ya?
Isn't that one a bit long?
Well, the quicker you're into it, the quicker you're out of it
Once upon a time
In a nursery rhyme
There was a castle with a king
Hiding in a wing
'Cause he never went to school to learn a single thing
He had scepters and swords
And a parliament of lords
But on the inside he was sad
Egad
Because he never had a wisdom for numbers
A wisdom for words
Though his crown was quite immense
His brain was smaller than a bird's
So the queen of the nation
Made a royal proclamation
"To the Missus and the Messers
The more or lessers
Bring me all the land's professors"
Then she went to the hair dressers
And they came from the east
And they came from the south
From each college they poured knowledge
From their brains into his mouth
But the king couldn't learn
So each professor met their fate
For the queen had their heads removed
And placed upon the gate
And on that date
I state their wives all got a note
Their mate was now the late-great
But then suddenly one day
A stranger started in to sing
He said, "I'm the dirty rascal
And I'm here to teach the king"
And the queen clutched her jewels
For she hated royal fools
But this fool had some rules
They really ought to teach in schools
Like you'll be a happy king
If you enjoy the things you've got
You should never try to be
The kind of person that you're not
So they sang and they laughed
For the king had found a friend
And they ran onto a rainbow for
The story's perfect end
So the moral is you musn't let
The outside be the guide
For it's not so cut and dry
Well unless it's Dr. Jekyll
Then you better hide, petrified
No, the truth can't be denied
As I now have testified
All that really counts and matters
Is the special stuff inside
He did it
Oh, a cover is not the book
So open it up and take a look
'Cause under the covers one discovers
That the king may be a crook
So please listen to what we've said
And open a book tonight in bed
So one more time before we get the hook
Sing it out strong
A cover is nice
Please take our advice
A cover is nice
Or you'll pay the price
A cover is nice
But a cover is not the book
Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ru-ra-la-la
Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ru-ra-la-la
Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ru-ra-la-la, la, la

Emily Blunt - The Place Where Lost Things Go
Do you ever lie
Awake at night?
Just between the dark
And the morning light
Searching for the things
You used to know
Looking for the place
Where the lost things go
Do you ever dream
Or reminisce?
Wondering where to find
What you truly miss
Well maybe all those things
That you love so
Are waiting in the place
Where the lost things go
Memories you've shed
Gone for good you feared
They're all around you still
Though they've disappeared
Nothing's really left
Or lost without a trace
Nothing's gone forever
Only out of place
So maybe now the dish
And my best spoon
Are playing hide and seek
Just behind the moon
Waiting there until
It's time to show
Spring is like that now
Far beneath the snow
Hiding in the place
Where the lost things go
Time to close your eyes
So sleep can come around
For when you dream you'll find
All that's lost is found
Maybe on the moon
Or maybe somewhere new
Maybe all you're missing lives inside of you
So when you need her touch
And loving gaze
Gone but not forgotten
Is the perfect phrase
Smiling from a star
That she makes glow
Trust she's always there
Watching as you grow
Find her in the place
Where the lost things go
Awake at night?
Just between the dark
And the morning light
Searching for the things
You used to know
Looking for the place
Where the lost things go
Do you ever dream
Or reminisce?
Wondering where to find
What you truly miss
Well maybe all those things
That you love so
Are waiting in the place
Where the lost things go
Memories you've shed
Gone for good you feared
They're all around you still
Though they've disappeared
Nothing's really left
Or lost without a trace
Nothing's gone forever
Only out of place
So maybe now the dish
And my best spoon
Are playing hide and seek
Just behind the moon
Waiting there until
It's time to show
Spring is like that now
Far beneath the snow
Hiding in the place
Where the lost things go
Time to close your eyes
So sleep can come around
For when you dream you'll find
All that's lost is found
Maybe on the moon
Or maybe somewhere new
Maybe all you're missing lives inside of you
So when you need her touch
And loving gaze
Gone but not forgotten
Is the perfect phrase
Smiling from a star
That she makes glow
Trust she's always there
Watching as you grow
Find her in the place
Where the lost things go

Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Nathanael Saleh, Joel Dawson and Pixie Davies - Turning Turtle
Turning turtle? What exactly does that mean?
It means my whole world goes flippity flop like a turtle on its back
And I don't know my up from my down, my east from my west
My topsy from my bottomsy
If you bring something broken on a Thursday
I'll make new, with my glue, pins and thread
But you bring whatever broken on a Friday
I will mend and then spend the day in bed
Children, Satur, Sun and Mondays are just everything is fun days
But in the second week, I wear a frown
For, I know that after Tuesday comes the Topsy get's bad news day
It's the dreaded second Wednesday
When from nine to noon, my life turns upside down
If fast is slow, low is high, stop is go and that is why
Every second Wednesday is a hurdle
From eight to nine, all is well
Then I roll over on my shell
And all because the world is turning turtle
Day is night, dog is cat, black is white, thin is fat
That is why I'm loosening up my girdle
I cannot help this charming troop
Don't lock me, 'cause I'm in this soup
And why? Because the world is turning turtle
Oh, woe is me, I'm as opposite as I can be
I long for Thursdays when the world is drab
When will it cease? Now my life resembles War and Peace
That Tolstoy certainly had the gift of gab, I couldn't get through it
Bottom's top, ying is yang, peace and quiet's Sturm und Drang
Tuesday nights, my blood begins to curdle
East is west, in is out, and that is why I need to shout
Oh, no!
The world is turning turtle
Oh, if you had come some other morn'
You wouldn't have found me so forlorn
But, since the day that I was born
Second Wednesday is on the fritz
I couldn't mend this to save my soul
If this keeps up, I'll dig a hole
You say life's a cherry bowl
But Wednesday's full of pits
Tell us, can you fix this drum?
Well, today it's looking glum
Can you mend this crack and broken string?
Perhaps, if you all lend a hand
Our fingers are at your command
A broken song, but still can sing
Let's do the turtle swing
Oh, woe is me
Now I'm on my head
How can that be?
Well, you say woe, but I say lucky you
Lucky me?
Yes, here on your head, "A" is far behind and led by zed
It's good to get a different point of view
You see, when the world turns upside down
The best thing is turn right along with it
I do see
From down here, things look right side up
I wouldn't mind seeing things from that angle
Sounds like fun
Can we?
Very well, flippity flop
Near is far and here is there
Turtles turning everywhere
Things are getting clear
Then knock on wood my dear
When you change the view from where you stood
The things you view will change for good
I never thought of things that way
She never thought of things that way
Now Wednesdays are my favorite days
Now Wednesdays are her favorite days
'Cause that's the day, I'm quite contrary
And now, thanks to cousin Mary
I have changed, to be exact, I love the fact
The world is turning turtle, turtle, turtle

Joel Dawson - The Place Where Lost Things Go (Reprise)
[ Featuring Nathanael Saleh, Pixie Davies ]
[Spoken:]
"We haven't lost mother. Not really."
Nothing's gone forever
Only out of place
So when we need her touch
And loving gaze
Gone but not forgotten
Is the perfect phrase
Smiling from a star
That she makes glow
Trust she's always there
Watching as we grow
Find her in the place
Where the lost things go
[Spoken:]
"When did you all get so clever? I hope I'm as clever as you when I grow up.
You're right. Course you're right Georgie.
Your mother's not gone, she's in your smile.
And in your walk, John. And Annabel's eyes.
And she'll always be with us, wherever we go."

[ Featuring Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Nathanael Saleh, Joel Dawson, Pixie Davies, Ben Whishaw ]
"I may be circling the drain, but I got a few steps left in me"
So when they tell you that you're finished
And your chance to dance is done
That's the time to stand
To strike up the band
And tell 'em that you just begun
So when life's a real pea-super
You must choose to be a trooper
For your light comes with a lifetime guarantee
As you
Trip a little light fantastic with me
(Went to the bank! Rattle and clank! Met with the boss!
Pitch and toss! Got lost in the fog! Lump on a log!)
Trip a little, trip a little, trip a little, trip a little
Trip a little light fantastic!

[ Featuring Julie Walters, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Nathanael Saleh, Joel Dawson, Pixie Davies, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Lévanah Solomon, Pascal Nowak, Lucas Krüger, Simon Faliu, Noah Reynier ]
Life's a balloon
That tumbles or rises
Depending on what is inside
Fill it with hope
And playful surprises
And oh, dearie ducks
Then you're in for a ride
Look inside the balloon
And if you hear a tune
There's nowhere to go but up
Choose the secret we know
Before life makes us grow
There's nowhere to go but up
If your selection feels right
Well then, deary, hold tight
If you see your reflection
Your heart will take flight
If you pick the right string
Then your heart will take wing
And there's nowhere to go but up
Now I feel like that boy
With a shiny new toy
And there's nowhere to go but up (Michael)
Just one day at the fair
Has me waltzing on air
And there's nowhere to go but up
Jane, I remember, it's all true
Every impossible thing we imagined with Mary Poppins
It all happened
Now my heart is so light
That I think I just might
Start feeding the birds
And then go fly a kite
With your head in a cloud
Only laughter's allowed
And there's nowhere to go but up
We're zigging and zagging
Our feet never dragging
We might take a ride to the moon
All this bobbing and weaving
All comes from believing
The magic inside the balloon
The past is the past
It lives on as history
And that's an important thing
The future comes fast
Each second a mystery
For nobody knows what tomorrow may bring
This one looks like you
How do you know? Ah
Don't you lose her, son
I won't, sir
Up here in the blue
It's a marvelous view
Side by side is the best way to fly
Once I just looked above
But now I am part of
The lovely London sky
Would you like to try one yourself, sir?
Uh, I'll give it a go
Choose carefully
Well, nowhere to go but up
When the clouds make a muss
Well, I won't make a fuss
But I'll polish the stars
Ellen, better let us
Give a lift to a foe
For you reap what you sow
And there's nowhere to go but up
I've set sail, chart a course, Mr. Binnacle
That I will, sir, hahaha
If your day's up the spout
Well there isn't a doubt
There's nowhere to go but up
And if you don't believe
Just hang on to my sleeve
For there's nowhere to go but up
As you fly over town
It gets harder to frown
And we'll all hit the heights
If we never look down
Let the past take a bow
The forever is now
And there's nowhere to go but up, up
There's nowhere to go but up
Of course, the grownups will all forget by tomorrow
They always do
Only one balloon left, Mary Poppins
I think it must be yours
Yes, I suppose it must
Practically perfect in every way

And maybe soon from up above
You'll be blessed so keep on looking high
While you're underneath the lovely London sky
