ฟังเพลงThe Life I Lead (from "Mary Poppins")

The Life I Lead - The New York Theatre Orchestra

I feel a surge of deep satisfaction

Much as a king astride his noble steed

Thank you

When I return from daily strife to heart and wife

How pleasant is the life I lead

Dear it's about the children

Yes yes yes

I run my home precisely on schedule

At six zero one I march through my door

My slippers sherry and pipe are due at six zero two

Consistent is the life I lead

It's grand to be an englishman in ninteen ten

King Edward's on the throne

It's the age of men

I'm the lord of my castle

The sovereign the liege

I treat my subjects servants children wife

With a firm but gentle hand

Noblesse oblige

It's six zero three 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 general

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 you have a ghastly mess
