Step in Time

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Step in Time" is a song and dance number from Walt Disney's 1964 film Mary Poppins, and it is composed by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. The choreography for this song was provided by Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood. It is sung by Bert, the chiminey sweep (Dick Van Dyke) and the other chiminey sweeps on the rooftops of London.

Step in Time also appears in the stage musical, with a very similar purpose. The main difference, however, is that (thanks to theatre magic) Bert walks upside down on the ceiling of the stage.

It is also very similar to another song Dick Van Dyke sang called "Me Ole Bamboo" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
