Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (used in Mary Poppins)
Writer: Robert B. Sherman; Lyrics: Robert B. Sherman


Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad My father gave me nose a tweak And told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word That saved me aching nose
The biggest word I ever heard And this is how it goes:
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully Or it may change your life
One night I said it to me girl
And now me girl's my wife!
She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!




and i found a site about the interpretation of this word..:

these r quotes:

...The one I believe is bullshit is that the Mary-Poppins-coined word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is really a term regarding Irish whores.


Sadly, the exact origin of the word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" may never be pinned down, ...But we do know this--it considerably predates the 1964 Disney movie Mary Poppins in which it was prominently featured.


the word should be broken up into two sections : supercalifragilistic and expialidocious. Big help.


However, I can tell you that the idea that it originally referred to Irish whores is most likely, as you say, bullshit. The only source I can find ... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, the word supposedly coined by Mary Poppins to make kids sound “precocious,” was actually invented by turn-of-the-century Scottish coal miners. It was used to request “the works” from prostitutes by men too shy to recite specific acts.



well...the letter is kind of funny..it says that there were several ppl fighting for the copyright(or sth. like this) of this word iin court. and "the judge got tired of writing out the whole word, so every time it had to be mentioned it was replaced by the phrase "the word" "... it's very anoying,heh'eh~:rolleyes:



p.s. i found the other bizarre word..it's recorded as the longest word in English--pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis.
45 letters!!..anyone is interested in figuring out what it means....?:p

It seems should be "me father..."in the song.
It's a Disney funny song. Is there anybody like it? The rythem is good.:)
