[00:00.00]The Life I Lead (From"Mary Poppins"/Soundtrack Version) - David Tomlinson
[00:08.52]I feel a surge of deep satisfaction
[00:12.30]Much as a king astride his noble steed
[00:16.43]When I return from daily strife to heart and wife
[00:20.85]How pleasant is the life I lead
[00:23.63]Mrs Banks:
[00:23.63](Spoken)
[00:23.63]Dear it's about the children
[00:24.94]Mr Banks:
[00:24.94]Yes yes yes
[00:25.93](Sung)
[00:25.93]I run my home precisely on schedule
[00:30.00]At 6:01 I march through my door
[00:33.95]My slippers sherry and pipe are due at 6:02
[00:38.02]Consistent is the life I lead
[00:43.92]It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910
[00:47.71]King Edward's on the throne;
[00:49.72]It's the age of men
[00:51.36]I'm the lord of my castle
[00:53.33]The sov'reign the liege
[00:55.38]I treat my subjects: servants children wife
[00:58.89]With a firm but gentle hand
[01:00.33]Noblesse oblige
[01:01.15]It's 6:03 and the heirs to my dominion
[01:05.31]Are scrubbed and tubbed and adequately fed
[01:08.51]And so I'll pat them on the head
[01:11.49]And send them off to bed
[01:13.24]Ah Lordly is the life I lead
[01:22.10]A British nanny must be a gen'ral
[01:25.84]The future empire lies within her hands
[01:29.62]And so the person that we need to mold the breed
[01:33.83]Is a nanny who can give commands
[01:39.22]A British bank is run with precision
[01:42.87]A British home requires nothing less
[01:46.72]Tradition discipline and rules must be the tools
[01:51.34]Without them - disorder
[01:53.75]Catastrophe Anarchy -
[01:56.11]In short we have a ghastly mess
