Temper, Temper (song)

Temper, Temper was a song from the musical adaptation of Mary Poppins that featured the nanny sending Jane and Michael to their room and bringing the toys to life. The toys then put the two misbehaving children on trial for the most wanton crime of losing their tempers! The song was infamous for scaring the younger audience members and was later replaced with "Playing the Game", a much tamer version of the lesson, focusing more on treating the toys with kindness, that featured Mary on stage as the ringleader yet also a buffer to the craziness as well.

Jane
What's Happening, I Don't Understand?
Valentine
I'm sure you don't Jane,
You and Michael think you have nothing to learn,
But you don't understand the simplest of things!
Michael
Why are you all so big?
Valentine
Ha-ha-ha-ha
You'll find out,
Children who lose their temper,
Will lose everything else in the end!
Mwa-Ha-Ha-Ha
