The Pearly Song (Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) Songtext
von Richard M. Sherman

The pearly song.

Because I was afraid to speak When I was just a lad,
Me father gave me nose a tweak And told me I was bad.
But then one day I learned a word that saved me achin' nose,
The biggest word you ever Heard And this is 'ow it goes: Oh!

It's Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious,
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious,
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!


He travelled all around the world and ev'rywhere he went,
He'd use his word and all around would say "there goes a clever gent"
When dukes and maharajas pass the time of day with me,
I just say me special word and then they ask me out for tea, Oh!

It's Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious,
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious,
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

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.
But better use it carefully or it can change your life.
One night I said it to me girl And now me girl's me wife.

It's Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious,
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious,
If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
