Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Julie Andrews/Dick Van Dyke/The Pearlie Chorus Lyrics

It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
This word (supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) is absolutely amazing

Even though the sound of it
Despite it being a mouthful, like many compound words are

Is something quite atrocious
It still carries a pretty rough sound

If you say it loud enough
But as long as you pronounce it properly, and with confidence

You'll always sound precocious
It will always make you sound smart, and give you an air of sophistication

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Yes, we're still talking about that same word!

Um-dittle-ittl-um-dittle-I
Just some nonsensical sounds to emphasize the uniqueness of the word

Because I was afraid to speak
The story of why this word is so important to me

When I was just a lad
When I was young and timid

Me father gave me nose a tweak
My father used to tease and mock me by pinching my nose

And told me I was bad
And he would tell me I wasn't good enough or smart enough to speak up

But then one day I learned a word
But then one day, I discovered this magical word

That saved me aching nose
That gave me the confidence to speak up and be heard

The biggest word you ever heard
It was the longest, most impressive word I had ever heard

And this is how it goes
And this is how I learned to say it

He traveled all around the world and everywhere he went
This part of the song talks about how the word became popular

He'd use his word and all would say there goes a clever gent
People were so impressed by the word that they saw the artist as clever and witty

When dukes of Maharajah pass the time of day with me
Even important people like dukes and Maharajahs were impressed by the word

I say me special word and then they ask me out to tea (woo)
In fact, they were so impressed that they would even invite the singer for tea

Now you can say it backwards which is
This song even includes a fun fact about the word

Dociousaliexpisticfragicalirupus
Which is that its backwards spelling is also very impressive

But that's going a bit too far, don't you think?
But maybe it's just showing off at that point

Indubitably
Absolutely

So when the cat has got your tongue
Here's another reason why this word is so great

There's no need for dismay (oui, oui)
If you're ever at a loss for words, don't worry

Just summon up this word
Just recall this magical word

And then you've got a lot to say
And it'll give you plenty to talk about

But better use it carefully
However, be mindful of when and how you use it

Or it can change your life
Because it's such a powerful word that it could have major implications

For example
And here's a cautionary tale to illustrate its power

Yes?
What is it?

One night I said it to me girl and now me girl's me wife
The artist jokingly claims that saying this word to his girlfriend was what convinced her to marry him

Oh, and a lovely thing she is, too, ha ha ha
And he's clearly still smitten with her

She's
But then the song once again ends with the word that started it all

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Because it's just that spectacular

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (just in case you forgot the word already)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (yup, once more for good measure)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (and that's it!)
