Temper, Temper
[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!
