'A Cover is Not the Book' - Mary Poppins Returns Lyrics

Lyrics to "A Cover is Not the Book" from Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

I absolutely love this song. I loved the choreography, the rap, the bawdy Vaudeville-esque lyrics, the way Emily transfers from posh to cockney in one second, it's amazing.

"isnt that one a bit long?"
"well the quicker you're into it the quicker you're outta it"



*whole theater starts squealing*

[Tadpole_Plyrr]

Of course Lin’s rapping never gets old

[jonathanpartin]

Just saw the movie today and I CANNOT get this song out of my head!

[kendallknight]

My favorite song from the I could dance and fly while listening to it!! Reminds me of the original movie

[harshmnr]

This was my favorite part of the movie!! For some reason I'm obsessed with Mary Poppins with a Cockney accent. 😂

Anyone else when they heard/saw this song thought “ well done lin you managed to get a rap in there!😂”

[cailakim]

You can literally hear Hamilton in Lin's Love it!!!! Woohooo!!!! Hamilton fans, anyone?

I saw it in an Australian cinema yesterday. Out of all the wonderful songs, I hope this song sticks in children's minds and helps them explore the wonders of reading (preferably paper). For me there's nothing like pages while reading in bed.

This is really one of my favorite song from that movie. The another song that i like is 'trip a little light fantastic'. But this song is very nice and cool that Jack sings about dr, Jekyll.

[avarodney]

I got a Mary Poppins returns ad on this video

[emilyistired]

Lin-Manuel Miranda was pure gold in this song. This was my favorite part of the movie😍

[annaliz]

Catchy song. Like it’s not so hidden message. 😉

[olivias]

[maljustice]

I cant get over Lins part I even promised I would have his rap memorized by the end of the week

[BurrShotHamJenna]

I AM GOING CRAZY FOR THE ANIMATION AND SPECIAL EFFECTS; NOT TO EVEN START ON THE CLOTHING!!!! This, this is why I will be attending college for animation, graphic design, and special effects. This is why I draw everyday and learn new styles everyday. This is why my Grandpa (who worked for Disney) wants me to join Disney and I agree too much. I will work my hardest for this future; I want people to feel the same way I did tonight. Thank you guys so much, Mary is correct about what is possible and ridiculous but truly unimaginable

[honeyquartz]

I come from the part in Britain where people with cockney accents are everywhere. And I'm taking this moment to applaud Emily and Lin for doing the accents PERFECTLY. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[shannonwhitaker]

I got a "Mary Poppins Returns" ad right before this. No joke!! 😂

[cordystubblefield]

Thank you for making a lyric video. When I went to see this movie this was the one song I couldn’t understand a word of.
