As I read your post, this song came into my head. It was my oldest child's favorite movei at age 3. She'd play 'Bert' and I'd be Mary Poppins dancing in sidewalk drawings. I'll have to sing this when I spread the bird seed tomorrow moring (it will be pretty cold to easily find food)
She looks to be a homeless woman, or at least very poor. By feeding the birds those who buy the crumbs are providing life sustaining food for the woman, perhaps even shelter, as well as for the birds. It's also an honest trade.
I agree that putting the money in the bank Is the wisest choice for the childrens future. But I think you are missing the point of the song. By buying a bag of crumbs to feed the birds, not only are the kids helping the birds to live, but also the old bird woman.
@tablerunner202004 All the more reason for those of us who longingly remember better times to pass down what we have had the privilege to experience. Personally, I don't plan on my children growing up without treasures like Mary Poppins. It doesn't get any better than this. I'm proud to be part of a generation that still respects these old favorites. :)
@musicbrain5 I actually cried when I read your comment. I already loved Walt Disney, but he just reached a new level of my admiration. What a precious precious man. That was just who he was... :)
Fiddlesticks! Feed the birds and what do you get? Fat birds! But if you invest that tuppence wisely in the bank, safe and sound, soon that tuppence invested safely in the bank will compound. And you will get that sense of conquest as your affluence expands in the hands of the directors who invest as proprietary demands. Idiots.
-___________-" i need to sing this song as a grade in a solo festival or else i fail my jr high choir class @ least i'll graduate thiz skool year & be in high skool :) but song is ok
I saw this in the theaters when it first came out....all I remember is my mother dressed me in footie pajamas knowing I wasn't going to stay awake through the whole thing.
I saw a snow globe in a Disney catalog several years back. It was very different than most of the playful & colorful Disney globes, and it caught my eye. It had St. Paul's cathedral, and instead of snow there were tiny birds, beautiful! Of course it played, "Feed the Birds", one of my favorite Shermon Bros songs. It was $65., and I just didn't have the $ to spend. Should have made the investment, found one on ebay about a year ago for $600.!! Turns out it was a very limited edition:(
I like this song. When I played the movie with the pop ups, it was explained that the song represents not only generosity, but kindness. I really believe in that too.
For those who have said on here that this song makes them cry, well i got the dvd and yes it makes me cry too!,..and i'm a 42 year old man, so i watch this alone, it makes me feel very emotional as it reminds me of my childhood that was so long ago, people i grew up with and not around anymore, like my nan and my dad!
@Possatboi you'll never, ever regret it. I'm from Malaysia and I try and go every 2 years. If I see nothing else in London, I got to St Paul's and the Tate Modern. Go the first chance you can. :)
In this day and age, the director/songwriters wouldn't be allowed to put the words 'cathedral', 'saint' and 'apostle' into the musical... It would be 'racist'. That's what the world is coming to...
So sad that she can't sing any more, her voice is SO beautiful!
She can't sing because she got a lump in her throat which blocked her vocal chords, and she had surgery to remove it, and her voice never came back after the surgery :'(
I love listening to Julie Andrews. It's sad that we may never hear her sing again. Her voice is so lovely and it brings shivers down my spine when I hear her sing! Such a lovely woman, voice, song and movie.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. It's also evident as to why this was Walt's favorite song. I'm studying in London right now and every time I walk past St. Paul's, this gets stuck in my head. Not a bad thing, I must say.
You're so right! Mary Poppins is also my favourite movie. I saw it first when I was at the age of nine. Now I'm an adult and I'm still in love with that masterpiece! :-) And I love that song very much. So wonderful! :-)
Even when I was like 5 years old I got so emotional over this song, and now like 13 years later I watch it and I'm bawling over it as if I were watching Titanic D': This is one of my favourite songs ever! :D
@MomoiroGirl I agree :) I showed my mom this song because I'm doing it for an audition, and she said: "Haha, do you remember how much it made you cry when you were little?" And I did. It is SUCH a beautiful song.
The man who wrote this sung it on Walt Disney's 100th birthday, because it was Walt's favorite. The audience later told him there was a bird flying over the place he sang and flew away when the song was over. He believes it was Walt, saying thank you. It's just such a beautiful and emotional song :') <3
I love this song and its underlying meaning, maybe that is why it was one of Walt Disneys favorite's. As for Tuppence being 2 pence the word was placed there by the Sherman brothers who had a tendancy to come up with their own language in their song writing.for example supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
@Fortrunmedic That Sir, is a lie. If you are implying that the Sherman Brothers created the word tuppence as a form of jabberwocky such as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, you are utterly ignorant. Tuppence is a reduction of 'two pence' or two pennies. Also the origin of the phrase giving your 2 pennies worth (2 pence). Not to be confused with the currently circulated two pence coin since Mary Poppins takes place during the reign of Edward VII. The word tuppence dates back to the early 1500s
@decideyorownfate poor old fortrunmedic, lol! wasn't there a nicer way to inform him/hwe of their small wrong assumption! (which wasn't so far-fetched for anyone not brought up knowing the Ways of Brits! :) Someone needs to take a break, & sit & sing & feed the birds for awhile! (:D
@Fortrunmedic it's true, brits have been inventing words ala sherman bros for ages, but i can see how you made that mysteake, if old-timey english cockney culture is not your specialty! they would also call a half penny a ha'penny (pronounced "hay penny" :) & a "farthing" was a quarter of a penny...there was some alternative slang for every kind of money division. it's a GREAT song, i love it too, & decidey has got a jabberwockin' burr under their saddle to go loco on yuz like dat! lol! (:D
Please don't forget the great Jane Darwell playing so touchingly the Bird Lady. This was her last appearance in her carreer. She was a great character actress and won an Academy Award for The Grapes of Wrath.
@Khamyro Yes, while it is literally "two pence", people speaking it ran it together into "tuppence" so much that it became colloquial English, much like "Mr. and Mrs" come from "Master and Mistress". Now that we've parsed the lyrics, let's enjoy the song, shall we?
Most people can't see past their own nose... I think this should be played on every billboard and every chart so that people will stop being so selfish. So many other people that need something they cant provide... Food Mainly... So Feed The Birds as Julie would say. Thanks
Every time I try and doubt myself from doing charitable work, I remind myself of this song. "All around the Cathedral, the saints and apostles look down as she sells her wares. Even though you can't see them, you know they are smiling each time someone shows that he cares." <3
I LLLLLLLLUV THIS SONGG IN MY HIGH SCHOOL WE ARE DOING A PRODUCTION FOR THIS I'M THE LEAD MARY POOPINS AND U ARE A BIG ROLE MODEL TO ME JULIE ITS TOO BAD YOUR VOICE IS BROKEN LONG LIVE U JULIE
@LOVINGMILEY99 I don't know if it was a mistake but you wrote mary "poopins" - sorry I'm only 14 i'm not the most mature girl in my class but your comment made me laugh.
Any way love this this song it's beautiful!! makes me sleepy
it was walt's fav. song to. I got it tattoo on my back. the sheet music, "feed the birds", Walter E Disney, birthday of walt, death-date of walt disney.
A really great man.
I went to the musical here in Holland and although in Dutch translated I cried. When I was younger I really loved this song, later I understood it's meaning and the fact that walt loved it as well.
at first when i was little i didn't understand any of the words, but in reality the song is so meaningful. slow down, love life, be thankful for what you have, and be happy. i love you, mary poppins.
i think we all agree what a great song it is...julie andrews adds so much more to the song its like velvet....and the only person and that includes me who comes close and who i would let sing a sing at my funaral is richard ashcroft...its so melodic when i have kids thats all they are gonna hear as they drift off t sleep ..and the beatles of course...oh it makes it even more upsetting when i realized the lad... the young lad is dead he died aged 21 how fucked up is that? its life i guess xx
More on the Bow Bells.. Google Bow Bells - St. Mary-le-Bow for full history...history has it in black and white and if all is to be taken seriously, then since their destruction, no true Londoner or cockney has been born in a very long time. Comments welcome
Sorry i meant to add, these bells were destroyed on 11 May 1941 by a German air raid during WWII, the bells were destroyed and in their place stands a replica set of 12 bells. The originals were set in place some time before 1392 when Dick Whittington heard Bow bells call him back to London to become Lord Mayor; to be born within the sound of Bow bells was the sign of a true Londoner or Cockney; and Bow bell's authority ends the medieval nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons,
Now 49 this song still brings a tear to my eye and shivers down my spine, why? because my grandmother told me as a girl she knew lady's like the one in the film who used to do just that, sell their wares to make a living. Beining a Cokney or should i say, a true Londoner as a cockney hasn't been born since the Bow Bells were demolished after WWII and to be a true Cockney you have to be born within the sound of them, well you cant now so the last of the Cockneys are very few and far between.
I remember my mum used to sing this to me when I was going to bed, though she changed the words so it would be a lullaby, the melody was so beautiful and calming, it put me right to sleep. I'll always have fond memories of it, and this song
This was Walt's favorite song... And he would make the Sherman brothers play it for him every time they came to his office. Which they gladly did.... =..)
Great song but this lady should not hang out with pigeons. Ornithosis, encephalitis, Newcastle disease, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis and salmonella are just a few of the illnesses spread by contact with pigeon poop and dead pigeons.
When little every Christmas my mom was putting Mary Poppins in the Video..OMG back then imy favorite song (from the movie) was the supercalifragisticespiraladosious but now is this one..
Love this movie=) Used to watch this movie all the time.

The 29 people who dislike this video only dislike it because:
a) they don't like writing on the screen while watching a video
b) it's not on the big screen
but most probably -
c) their volume control is broken, meaning they can't hear it

i think we all agree what a great song it is...julie andrews adds so much more to the song its like velvet....and the only person and that includes me who comes close and who i would let sing a sing at my funaral is richard ashcroft...its so melodic when i have kids thats all they are gonna hear as they drift off t sleep ..and the beatles of course...oh it makes it even more upsetting when i realized the lad... the young lad is dead he died aged 21 how fucked up is that? its life i guess xx

More on the Bow Bells.. Google Bow Bells - St. Mary-le-Bow for full history...history has it in black and white and if all is to be taken seriously, then since their destruction, no true Londoner or cockney has been born in a very long time. Comments welcome
MrTeddyBear1961 9 months ago
Sorry i meant to add, these bells were destroyed on 11 May 1941 by a German air raid during WWII, the bells were destroyed and in their place stands a replica set of 12 bells. The originals were set in place some time before 1392 when Dick Whittington heard Bow bells call him back to London to become Lord Mayor; to be born within the sound of Bow bells was the sign of a true Londoner or Cockney; and Bow bell's authority ends the medieval nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons,

Now 49 this song still brings a tear to my eye and shivers down my spine, why? because my grandmother told me as a girl she knew lady's like the one in the film who used to do just that, sell their wares to make a living. Beining a Cokney or should i say, a true Londoner as a cockney hasn't been born since the Bow Bells were demolished after WWII and to be a true Cockney you have to be born within the sound of them, well you cant now so the last of the Cockneys are very few and far between.

I remember my mum used to sing this to me when I was going to bed, though she changed the words so it would be a lullaby, the melody was so beautiful and calming, it put me right to sleep. I'll always have fond memories of it, and this song

It is not about the birds or the diseases they may spread, but the moral behind the song, an act of kindness goes a long way.

Great song but this lady should not hang out with pigeons. Ornithosis, encephalitis, Newcastle disease, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis and salmonella are just a few of the illnesses spread by contact with pigeon poop and dead pigeons.
