Karaoké Brimstone and Treacle, Pt. 1 Mary Poppins (comédie musicale)

These children have been spoiled

I've arrived here just in time

By chance I've brought the punishment that best befits the crime

Brimstone and Treacle

And cod liver oil

Liberal doses of each

These are the treats from which children recoil the lessons I'm going to teach

Just follow my model and don't Molly-coddle

It may lead the irksome to irk

So seek satisfaction from punitive action

Brimstone and Treacle will work

Open

Worse

Does it taste as bad as it smells

Do I have to

Open

Aw

Brimstone and Treacle and carbolic soap

These are the tools of my trade

With spoonfulls of sugar you don't have a hope of seeing that changes are made

Where manners are chronic my tincture's the tonic that's certain to wipe off a smirk

Just pour out a ration in matronly fashion

Brimstone and Treacle will work

I won't stand for simpering

Whingeing and whimpering

Sucking of thumbs is absurd

Observe every letter

For children are better when they can be seen and not heard

Your son will go to boarding school at once

As for the girl

I shall take charge of her myself

To cosset and pamper will hinder and hamper the child in whom bad habits lurk

First threaten to throttle then uncork the bottle

Brimstone and Treacle will work

Brimstone and Treacle will work
