Temper, Temper

Lyrics

[JANE, spoken] 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 things [MICHAEL] Why are you all so big? [WILLIAM] You'll find out [VALENTINE] Children who lose their temper will lose everything else in the end! Hahahaha... [TOYS, sung] Temper, temper! Temper, temper! Temper, temper! Temper, temper! Temper, temper! Temper, temper! Temper, temper! Temper, temper! Temper, temper! [VALENTINE] Temper, temper Caught you at last Your quick temper went a bit fast [VALENTINE + WILLIAM] This is a place of woe! This is a place where all wicked children go [MICHAEL, spoken] But this is our nursery! [VALENTINE] No, this is our nursery! [TOYS] Temper, temper! That was your crime We've been watching you for some time! We knew that you'd appear We knew your temper tantrums would lead you here [JANE, spoken] Stop, leave us alone! [WILLIAM] Pray silence for the judge! [MICAHEL] What judge!? [WILLIAM] All rise! [MR. PUNCH, sung] Temper, temper, silence in court Is this not the story you thought? You have to stand on trial You will not see your parents for quite some while [TOYS] Children who refuse to learn will not return Children who refuse to learn will not return! [MR. PUNCH, spoken] Are you Jane and Michael Banks? [JANE] Yes, and we live at seventeen Cherry Tree Lane! [MONKEY] Not anymore you don't! You're at Destiny's crossroads! [MR. PUNCH] You stand accused of the wanton loss of a most precious commodity - namely, your temper [VALENTINE] Call the first witness! [MONKEYS] Call the first witness! [WILLIAM] Call the first witness! [DOLL, sung] Temper, temper Think of the cost Of a temper once it's been lost You cannot get it back! It's no excuse to say that your mood was black [TOYS] Black! Black! [VALENTINE, spoken] Call the surprise witness! [MONKEYS] Call the surprise witness! [WILLIAM] Call the surprise witness! [JACK IN THE BOX] Surprise! [ALL] Aaaah! [MR. PUNCH] Yes? [JACK IN THE BOX] I saw them your Honor - they were fighting over Valentine [MR. PUNCH] Go on [JACK IN THE BOX] And...and tore his arm, again! [TOYS, sung] Children who refuse to learn will not return Children who refuse to learn will not return! Temper! Temper! Temper, temper, temper, temper, temper, temper! [MR. PUNCH, spoken] What is your verdict? [TOYS, sung] Guilty! [MR. PUNCH, sung] You stand there bold as brass You face the stiffest a sentence this court can pass [TOYS] Children who refuse to learn will not return Children who refuse to learn will not return! Temper, temper!
