In the 1964 film
Mary Poppins, during the first part of the song, the lines Bert says in the verses are "kick your knees up", round the
chimney", "flap like a birdie", "up on the railing", "over the rooftops" and "link your elbows" followed by an interlude. The interlude continues with Bert, Mary Poppins, Michael, Jane and all the chimneysweeps dancing around the rooftops and as Admiral Boom, the Banks family's next-door neighbour, looks at them with the
telescope, he thinks that they're
Hottentot robbers, so he orders his assistant, Mr. Binnacle, to make them scram with colorful
fireworks. In the second part, as all the chimneysweeps get in the house of George Banks, Mrs. Brill walks into the living room looking at them and screams, "They're at it again!" and she runs away trying to strike one of the chimneysweeps with a
frying pan. As Jane, Michael, Mary Poppins and Bert get in the same place, Ellen runs around the dining room with an "OW!!!" and the chimney sweepers flip her. The other phrases in the rest of the musical number are "
votes for women," "it's the master," and "what's all this?" ==Later versions==
