Let's say you're lost in a park, sure
You can give in to the dark or
You can trip a little light fantastic with me
When you're alone in your room
Your choice is just embrace the gloom
Or you can trip a little light fantastic with me

For if you hide under the covers
You might never see the day
But if a spark can start inside your heart
Then you can always find the way
So when life is getting dreary
Just pretend that you're a leerie
As you trip a little light fantastic with me

JOHN
What's a leerie

JACK
Why, it's what we lamplighters call ourselves, of course. Time to send out the call to arms. Leeries, trip the lights and lead the way

Now when you're stuck in the mist, sure
You can struggle and resist or
You can trip a little light fantastic with me
Now say you're lost in the crowd, well
You can stamp and scream out loud or
You can trip a little light fantastic with me

And when the fog comes rolling in, just
Keep your feet upon the path
Mustn't mope and frown or worse, lie down
Don't let it be your epitaph

So when life is getting scary, be your own illuminary
Who can shine their light for all the world to see
As you trip a little light fantastic with me

A leerie loves the edge of night
Though dim, to him the world looks bright
He's got the gift of second sight

LEERIES
To trip a little light fantastic

JACK
A leerie's job's to light the way

LEERIES
To take the night and make it day

JACK
We mimic the moon, yes that's our aim

JACK and LEERIES
For we're the keepers of the flame

JACK
And if you're deep inside a tunnel
When there is no end in sight
Well just carry on until the dawn
It's darkest right before the light

As you trip a little light fantastic
Won't you trip a little light fantastic
Come on, trip a little light fantastic with me

ANGUS
Come along, join us in a bit of a kick and prance

JOHN
What did he say

JACK
Kick and prance -- it means dance It's leerie speak. You don't say the words you mean, you say something that rhymes, only -- here, I'll show you how it works. Angus, give us your weep and wail. To the rest of ya, that meanstale

ANGUS
I was short of a sheet

JACK
It was in the street

ANGUS
Just a tumble down a sink

JACK
Just to get himself a drink

ANGUS
Then I pinch what's fatter

JACK
He grabbed his ladder

ANGUS
To smile and smirk-

JACK and ANGUS
To work

JACK
You see, there's nothing to it

So we took it to a shop

MARY POPPINS
Like a lollipop

GEORGIE
And went upside down

MARY POPPINS

JOHN
Then went to the bank

MARY POPPINS
Rattle and clank

ANNABEL
Got lost in the fog

MARY POPPINS
Lump on a log

JOHN
Till we found a friend

MARY POPPINS
To stand and defend

ANNABEL
Who took us on a trip

MARY POPPINS
Snapped a horse's whip

CHILDREN
And we tripped a little light fantastic

MARY POPPINS
