Sir Smasham Uppe by E.V. Rieu Good afternoon, Sir Smasham Uppe! We’re having tea: do take a cup! Sugar and milk? - Now let me see Two lumps, I think? . . . Good gracious me! The silly thing slipped off your knee! Pray don’t apologize, old chap: A very trivial mishap! So clumsy of you? - How absurd! My dear Sir Smasham, not a word!

Now do sit down and have another, And tell us all about your brother – You know, the one who broke his head. Is the poor fellow still in bed? – A chair - allow me, sir! . . . Great Scott! That was a nasty smash! Eh, what? Oh, not at all: the chair was old – Queen Anne, or so we have been told. We’ve got at least a dozen more: Just leave the pieces on the floor.

I want you to admire our view: Come nearer to the window, do: And look how beautiful . . . Tut, tut! You didn’t see that it was shut? I hope you are not badly cut! Not hurt? - A fortunate escape! Amazing! - Not a single scrape! And now, if you have finished tea, I fancy you might like to see A little thing or two I’ve got.

That china plate. - Yes, worth a lot: A beauty too. Ah, there it goes That china plate? - Yes, worth a lot: A beauty too . . . Ah, there it goes! I trust it didn’t hurt your toes? Your elbow brushed it off the shelf? Of course: I’ve done the same myself. And now, my dear Sir Smasham – Oh! You surely don’t intend to go? You must be off? - Well, come again So glad you’re fond of porcelain!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious It's 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 achin' nose The biggest word you 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

He traveled all around the world And everywhere he went He'd use this word and all would say There goes a clever gent When Dukes and Maharajahs Pass the time of day with me I say me special word And then they ask me out to tea

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 to dismay Just summon up this word And then you've got a lot to say But better use it carefully Or it could change your life One night I said it to me girl And now me girl's my wife She’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Transa na dTonnta Trasna na dtonnta, dul siar, dul siar, Slán leis an uaigneas ‘is slán leis an gcian; Geal é mo chroí, agus geal í an ghrian, Geal a bheith ag filleadh go hÉirinn! Chonaic mé mo dhóthain de Thíortha i gcéin, Ór agus airgead, saibhreas an tsaoil, Éiríonn an croí ‘nam le breacadh gach lae ‘S mé druidim le dúthaigh mo mhuintir!

Trasna na dtonnta, dul siar, dul siar, Slán leis an uaigneas ‘is slán leis an gcian; Geal é mo chroí, agus geal í an ghrian, Geal a bheith ag filleadh go hÉirinn! Muintir an Iarthair ‘siad cairde mo chroí, Fáilte ‘is féile bheidh romham ar gach taobh. Ar fhágaint an tsaoil seo, sé ghuidhim ar an Rí Gur leosan a shinfear i gcill mé.
