Lyrics Playing the Game - The Australian Cast of Mary Poppins



Playing the game
Taking your turn
Some children lose
Some children learn
Treat the toys nicely and maybe they'll treat you the same
Playing the game
(Are you feeling any better valentine?)
(Much better thank you)
Tempers are frayed
Tempers are lost
Nobody stops to think of the cost
(But they tore my arm, again!)
(Oh dear, children who lose their temper will lose everything else in the end)
They're not playing the game
Not playing fair
Not with the doll
Nor with the bear
Thrown on the floor and neglected and they were to blame
Playing the game
(Please tell them Mary Poppins)
(Why don't you tell them)
(What's going on)
(What's happened to the toys)
(Make them go small and get back in their boxes!)
(Why? You've hurt them and called them names
Now it's their turn)
Summon the toys
Now is the time
To tell of your woes
To tell of their crime
Crime!
Crime!
Come one come all
Enter the fray
They need to hear what you have to say
Game!
Game!
Game! Game! Game!
Those girls and boys
Echo: Those girls and boys
Who treat us this way
Echo: Who treat us this way
Don't deserve fun
Echo: Don't deserve fun
So why should we stay
They stamp and shout
Echo
Create such a fuss
They need to learn the value of us
(Well?)
(You think you know everything)
(I couldn't agree more)
(Jane)
(Well there our toys and we'll do what we like with them)
(So there indeed)
Playing the game
Having a ball
Those who won't play
Shan't play at all
Will we meet again
Maybe when they've learned to play the game
