00:00:01.966 --> 00:00:03.900
It is my great honor to introduce
this evening's renowned guest,
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.400
the one, the only,
Mary Poppins!
00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:11.433
Oh!
00:00:11.533 --> 00:00:13.433
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
00:00:13.533 --> 00:00:14.833
Yes, thank you.
00:00:13.533 --> 00:00:14.833
Come on!
00:00:14.933 --> 00:00:16.566
No, no, no.
00:00:14.933 --> 00:00:16.566
Come on up.
00:00:16.666 --> 00:00:19.466
Silly chap.
00:00:20.766 --> 00:00:23.766
Thank you.
00:00:23.866 --> 00:00:26.400
Sing for us, Mary Poppins!
00:00:23.866 --> 00:00:26.400
Sing! Sing! Sing for us!
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:28.400
No. No, no, no.
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:28.400
Come on. Have a go.
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:29.866
No. I haven't sung
in years.
00:00:29.966 --> 00:00:32.833
Sing for us, Marry Poppins.
00:00:29.966 --> 00:00:32.833
Please! Please!
00:00:32.933 --> 00:00:34.866
Oh, no.
I couldn't possibly.
00:00:34.966 --> 00:00:36.566
D-flat major.
00:00:49.433 --> 00:00:52.400
Uncle Gutenberg
was a bookworm
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:54.633
And he lived
on Charing Cross
00:00:54.733 --> 00:00:58.800
The memory of his volumes
brings a smile
00:00:58.900 --> 00:01:01.500
He would read me
lots of stories
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.666
When he wasn't
on the sauce
00:01:03.766 --> 00:01:06.366
Now I'd like
to share the wisdom
00:01:06.466 --> 00:01:09.900
Of my favorite bibliophile
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.333
He said
00:01:13.433 --> 00:01:18.600
A cover is not the book so open
it up and take a look
00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:22.633
'Cause under the covers one discovers
that the king may be a crook
00:01:22.733 --> 00:01:24.600
Chapter titles
are like signs
00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:26.800
And if you read
between the lines
00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:30.366
You'll find your first impression
was mistook
00:01:30.466 --> 00:01:33.800
For a cover is nice but a
cover is not the book
00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:36.900
Ta-ru-ra-lee ta-ra-ta-ta-ta, ta-
ru-ra-lee ta-ra-ta-ta-ta
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.533
Mary Poppins, could you
give us an example?
00:01:39.633 --> 00:01:42.666
Certainly.
00:01:39.633 --> 00:01:42.666
Mm!
00:01:42.766 --> 00:01:45.800
Nellie Rubina was made of wood
but what could not be seen
00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:47.966
Was though her trunk
up top was barren
00:01:48.066 --> 00:01:50.000
Well, her roots
were lush and green
00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:52.000
So, in spring
when Mr. Hick'ry
00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:53.866
Saw her blossoms
bloomin' there
00:01:53.966 --> 00:01:55.866
He took root
despite her bark
00:01:55.966 --> 00:01:58.000
And now there's
seedlings everywhere
00:01:58.300 --> 00:02:02.900
Which proves a cover is not the book
so open it up and take a look
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.900
'Cause under the covers one discovers
that the king may be a crook
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.933
Chapter titles
are like signs
00:02:09.033 --> 00:02:10.900
And if you read
between the lines
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.433
You'll find your first impression
was mistook
00:02:15.533 --> 00:02:17.633
For a cover is nice but a
cover is not the book
00:02:17.733 --> 00:02:20.666
Shall we do the one about
the wealthy widow?
00:02:20.766 --> 00:02:23.000
Oh, by all means.
00:02:20.766 --> 00:02:23.000
Always loved that one.
00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:24.500
Oh, go on, then.
00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:26.600
Lady Hyacinth Macaw
00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:28.700
Brought all her treasures
to a reef
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.800
Where she only wore a smile
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.800
Plus two feathers
and a leaf
00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:36.633
So no one tried to rob her 'cause
she barely wore a stitch
00:02:36.733 --> 00:02:38.466
For when you're in
your birthday suit
00:02:38.566 --> 00:02:40.533
There ain't much there
to show you're rich
00:02:40.633 --> 00:02:44.433
Oh, a cover is not the book so
open it up and take a look
00:02:44.533 --> 00:02:48.433
'Cause under the covers one discovers
that the king may be a crook
00:02:48.533 --> 00:02:52.733
Ta-ru-ra-lee ta-ru-ra-la, ta-
ru-ra-lee ta-ra-ta-ta
00:02:52.833 --> 00:02:56.500
You'll find your first impression
was mistook Ya-da-da-da
00:02:56.600 --> 00:02:59.766
For a cover is nice but a
cover is not the book
00:02:59.866 --> 00:03:02.900
Give us the one about the dirty
rascal, why don't you?
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.033
Isn't that one a bit long?
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.033
Well, the quicker
you're into it,
00:03:05.333 --> 00:03:06.600
the quicker
you're out of it.
00:03:11.633 --> 00:03:13.600
Once upon a time
in a nursery rhyme
00:03:13.700 --> 00:03:15.933
There was a castle with a
king hiding in a wing
00:03:16.033 --> 00:03:18.500
'Cause he never went to school
to learn a single thing
00:03:18.600 --> 00:03:20.500
He had scepters and swords and
a parliament of lords
00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:22.666
But on the inside
he was sad, egad
00:03:22.766 --> 00:03:25.600
Because he never had a wisdom for
numbers, a wisdom for words
00:03:25.700 --> 00:03:28.066
Though his crown was quite
immense, his brain was smaller
than a bird's
00:03:28.366 --> 00:03:30.500
So the queen of the nation made
a royal proclamation
00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:32.833
"To the missus and the messers,
the more or lessers
00:03:32.933 --> 00:03:35.033
Bring me all the land's professors",
then she went to the hairdressers
00:03:35.333 --> 00:03:37.700
And they came from the east and
they came from the south
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.000
From each college they poured
knowledge from their
brains into his mouth
