Ik kan er niet aan doen, ik zit met dit liedje uit Mary Poppins in mijn hoofd. Teveel mensen die mij aan Mr. Banks doen denken de laatste tijd geloof ik…
The life I lead (Richard M Sherman and Robert B Sherman)
Mr.Banks:
I feel a surge of deep satisfaction
Much as a king astride his noble steed
When I return from daily strife to heart and wife
How pleasant is the life I lead!
Mrs. Banks:
[Spoken]
Dear, it’s about the children…
Mr. Banks:
Yes, yes, yes!
[Sung]
I run my home precisely on schedule
At 6:01, I march through my door
My slippers, sherry, and pipe are due at 6:02
Consistent is the life I lead!
It’s grand to be an Englishman in 1910
King Edward’s on the throne;
It’s the age of men
I’m the lord of my castle
The sov’reign, the liege!
I treat my subjects: servants, children, wife
With a firm but gentle hand
Noblesse oblige!
It’s 6:03 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!
Het heeft mij ook keiveel zin gegeven om naar Saving Mr. Banks te gaan kijken, lijkt mij een super film!
