Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - UC Men's Octet

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins performed by the UC Berkeley Men's Octet at the West Coast A Capella Showcase, November 14, 2009, Wheeler Auditorium.

Lyrics:
To tell the truth the word is long but not without a purpose
For if you were to cram all meaning in one word you'd know this
That though you may be down and sadly sit and frown
This word may be of help, and also of great service.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Even though the sound of it is quite ridiculocious
If you say it loud enough you may just sound obnoxious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle eye
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle eye

I know what you are thinking, you think "Hey, that's not a word!"
But Microsoft Word didn't underline it, so it's not absurd.
And it could mean anything if you say it right
Try it backwards, forwards, how about inside out, alright!

Dociousaliexpeisticfragicalirupus
Alicaliexpeisticdociousalisuper
Fragicalidociousexpeisticalisuper

*Gasp* He did not just say that!
Hey man, Im sorry... *Slap!*
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle eye
Oh, not a key change, please, I cant sing that high!
Fine!
Back down...

Not only can you rearrange the way you say the word
But based on how you sing and if you alter every chord
We can change dramatically what we really mean
For singing style means much more than genre as you will see.

Well, that was inappropriate.
Lets show them how its really done. Okay!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (4xs)

Lets have a go, what do you say, chap?
Capital idea!
Capital idea, indeed, lets go!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (4xs)

Oh, you kids know nothing of music. Let me bring you back to your classical roots, booklets up!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Phantom of the Opera had an expialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Nai, nai, nai, es Hindi megah negah heh
Ek, dos. ting, jia!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (4xs)

Wed like to end now, so we hope youve learned more about this word
That now you see indeed the pen is mightier than the sword.
And when there comes a point in life you dont know what to say
Remember to get back on track youre just a word away.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (4xs)
Go bears!
