Karaoké Trip a Little Light Fantastic Le Retour de Mary Poppins

Let's say you're lost in a park sure

You can give in to the dark or

You can trip a little light fantastic with me

When you're alone in your room

Your choice is just embrace the gloom or you can trip a little light fantastic with me

For if you hide under the covers

You might never see the day

But if a spark can start inside your heart

Then you can always find the way

So when life is getting dreary

Just pretend that you're a leerie

As you trip a little light fantastic with me

What's a leerie?

Why it's what we lamplighters call ourselves of course

Time to send out the call to arms

Leeries

Trip the lights and lead the way

Now when you're stuck in the mist sure

You can struggle and resist or

You can trip a little light fantastic with me

Now say you're lost in the crowd well

You can stamp and scream out loud or

You can trip a little light fantastic with me

And when the fog comes rolling in just

Keep your feet upon the path

Mustn't mope and frown or worse lie down don't let it be your epitaph

So when life is getting scary be your own illuminary

Who can shine their light for all the world to see

As you trip a little light fantastic with me

A leerie loves the edge of night

Though dim to him the world looks bright

He's got the gift of second sight a leerie's job's to light the way

We mimic the moon yes that's our aim

And if you're deep inside a tunnel

When there is no end in sight

Well just carry on until the dawn

It's darkest right before the light

As you trip a little light fantastic

Won't you trip a little light fantastic?

Come on

Trip a little light fantastic with me

Come along

Join us in a bit of a kick and prance

What did he say?

Kick and prance, it means dance

It's leerie speak

You don't say the words you mean

You say something that rhymes only

Here I'll show you how it works

Angus give us your weep and wail

To the rest of ya that means tale

I was short of a sheet it was in the street

Just a tumble down a sink just to get himself a drink

Then I pinch what's fatter he grabbed his ladder to smile and smirk to work

You see there's nothing to it

Can you speak leerie

Mary Poppins?

Can I speak leerie?

Of course she can she's Mary Poppins

Can we do it with you?

Please?

Please?

Oh very well then

Children tell us yer sorry tale give us your weep and wail

Well we had this bowl

Rabbit in the hole

That fell and broke bicycle spoke

So we took it to a shop

Like a lollipop and went upside down that's a circus clown

Then went to the bank

Rattle and clank got lost in the fog lump on a log 'till we found a friend

To stand and defend

Who took us on a trip snapped a horse's whip

And we tripped a little

And we tripped a little light fantastic light fantastic

Now that sounds

A little bit bombastic we tripped a light

But they tripped the light we tripped a light let's trip a little light fantastic let's trip a little light fantastic

You've got it now let's get you all back home

Now if your life is getting foggy that's no reason to complain

Now if your life is getting foggy that's no reason to complain there's so much in store

Inside the door of seventeen Cherry Tree Lane

Seventeen Cherry Tree Lane

So when troubles are incessant simply be more incandescent for your light comes

With a lifetime guarantee as you

Trip a little light fantastic

Trip a little light fantastic

Trip a little light fantastic

Won't you

Pitch and toss got lost in the fog lump on a log
