The Life I Lead (From "Mary Poppins"/Soundtrack Version) - David Tomlinson

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 6:01 I 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 6:03 and 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
