The Life I Lead

The Life I Lead -Mary Poppins
I feel a surge of deep satisfaction
Much as a king astride his noble steed
When I return from daily strife to heart and wife
How pleasant is the life I lead
Mrs Banks:
Spoken）
Dear it's about the children
Mr Banks:
Yes yes yes
Sung）
I run my home precisely on schedule
At 6:01I march through my door
My slippers sherry and pipe are due at 6:02
Consistent is the life I lead
It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910
King Edward's on the throne;
It's the age of men
I'm the lord of my castle
The sov'reign the liege
I treat my subjects:servants children wife
With a firm but gentle hand
Noblesse oblige
It's 6:03and the heirs to my dominion
Are scrubbed and tubbed and adequately fed
And so I'll pat them on the head
And send them off to bed
Ah Lordly is the life I lead
A British nanny must be a gen'ral
The future empire lies within her hands
And so the person that we need to mold the breed
Is a nanny who can give commands
A British bank is run with precision
A British home requires nothing less
Tradition discipline and rules must be the tools
Without them -disorder
Catastrophe Anarchy -
In short we have a ghastly mess
