Temper, Temper

What's happening? I don't understand!

I'm sure you don't, Jane. You and Michael think you have nothing to learn but you don't understand the simplest things.

Why are you all so big?

You'll find out.

Children who lose their temper will lose everything else in the end.

Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper

Temper, temper
Caught you at last
Your quick temper
Went a bit fast
This is a place of woe

This is a place of woe

This a place where all

Wicked children go

But this is our nursery!

No, this is *our* nursery.

Temper, temper, that was your crime
We've been watching you for some time
We knew that you'd appear (That you'd appear)
We knew your temper tantrums would lead you here

Stop! Leave us alone!

Pray silence for the judge!

What judge?

All rise.

Temper, temper, silence in court
Is this not the story you thought?
You have to stand on trial

Stand on trial

You will not see your parents
For quite some time

Children who refuse to learn

Will not return
Children who refuse to learn
Will not return

Are you Jane and Michael Banks?

Yes, and we live at Seventeen Cherry Tree Lane.

Not anymore, you don't. You're at destiny's crossroads.

You stand accused of the wanton lost of a most important commodity. Namely, your temper!

Call the first witness!

Call the first witness!

Call the first witness!

Temper, temper, think of the cost
Of a temper, once it's been lost
You cannot get it back

Cannot get it back

It's no excuse to say

That your mood was black

Call the surprise witness!

Call the surprise witness!

Call the surprise witness!

Surprise! Yes, I saw them, your Honour. They were fighting over Valentine.

Go on.

And... And tore his arm! Again!

Children who refuse to learn
Will not return

Children
Children who refuse to learn
Return
Will not return
Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper
Temper, temper

What is your verdict?

Guilty!

You stand there bold as brass
You face the stiffest sentence this court can ask

Children who refuse to learn
Will not return
Children who refuse to learn
Will not return
Children who refuse to learn
Will not return

Temper, temper!
