Brimstone and Treacle(London Cast Recording) - Harry Stott as Michael Banks/Rosemary Ashe as Miss Andrew

作词：Anthony Drewe/George Stiles

作曲：Anthony Drewe/George Stiles

These children have been spoiled

I've arrived here just in time

By chance I've brought the punishment

That best befits the crime

Brimstone and treacle

And cod liver oil

Liberal doses of each

These are the treats from which children recoil

The lessons I'm going to teach

Just follow my model

And don't molly coddle

It may lead the irksome to irk

So seek satisfaction

From punitive action

Brimstone and treacle will work

Open

Does it taste as bad as it smells

Worse

Do I have to

Open

Brimstone and treacle and carbolic soap

These are the tools of my trade

With spoonfulls of sugar you don't have a hope

Of seeing that changes are made

Where manners are chronic

My tincture's the tonic

That's certain to wipe off a smirk

Just pour out a ration

In matronly fashion

Brimstone and treacle will work

I won't stand for simpering whingeing and whimpering

Sucking of thumbs is absurd

Observe every letter

For children are better

When they can be seen and not heard

Your son will go to boarding school at once

As for the girl I shall take charge of her myself

To cosset and pamper

Will hinder and hamper

The child in whom bad habits lurk

First threaten to throttle

Then uncork the bottle

Brimstone and treacle will work

Brimstone and treacle will work
