"Me Ol' Bamboo" is a song written by the Sherman Brothers for the motion picture Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was originally written to be choreographed as a morris dance (although the dance has much more in common with the Căluşari) for the film by Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood (Mary Poppins, The Happiest Millionaire, The Sound of Music) and adapted for the stage by choreographer Gillian Lynne who also created the choreography for Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.
The song and dance are performed by Dick Van Dyke and about fifteen other men. On Remembering Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with Dick Van Dyke, Van Dyke says that "Me Ol' Bamboo" was one of the most difficult dancing acts he ever undertook.
In the film, Caractacus Potts does the dance to escape an angry victim of his malfunctioning hair-cutting machine. The dance involves the use of bamboo sticks as props. At the end of the dance, Potts collects enough money to buy Chitty.
The song is a light-spirited song about different men and their various usages of cane-like apparatuses. Songwriter/lyricist Robert B. Sherman was inspired to write the song by his own use of a bamboo walking stick, which he used after a World War II knee injury.
It is very similar to the song "Step in Time" from Mary Poppins, also written by the Sherman brothers and performed by Van Dyke. Both songs are also loosely based on the popular British music hall (vaudeville) repetitive action song "Knees Up Mother Brown".
A gentleman's got a walking stick
A seaman's got a gaff
And the merry men of Robin Hood
They used a quarterstaff

On the Spanish plains inside their canes
They hide their ruddy swords
But we make do with an old bamboo
And everyone applauds

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, hey
Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bamboo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo

When punting on the beautiful Thames
You use a sturdy pole
To protect their fair complexion
Ladies use a parasol

It's useful in the underbrush
To have a hefty spear
Right

But what we do with an old bamboo
Makes everybody cheer
1, 2, 3, ho

Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
'Here we go, mate

A flyer in an air-e-o-plane
He steers it with a stick
He does?

A collier in the pits o' Wales
He leans upon his pick
That's right

Now every wheel of an automobile
Revolves around a shaft
(Hey)
But what we do with an old bamboo
Makes everyone go daft
And 1, 2

Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bamboo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, hey
And a 1, 2, 3, 4 and a 5 and a 6 and a 7, ho
Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo
You can have me hat or me bum ber shoo

But you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo

You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo.

Mary Poppins is a 1964 American musical-fantasy film directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Walt Disney, with songs written and composed by the Sherman Brothers. The screenplay is by Bill Walsh and Don DaGradi, loosely based on P. L. Travers' book series Mary Poppins. The film, which combines live-action and animation, stars Julie Andrews in the role of Mary Poppins who visits a dysfunctional family in London and employs her unique brand of lifestyle to improve the family's dynamic. Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson, and Glynis Johns are featured in supporting roles. The film was shot entirely at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California using painted London background scenes.
Mary Poppins was released on August 27, 1964, to universal acclaim, receiving a total of thirteen Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture – an unsurpassed record for any other film released by Walt Disney Studios – and won five; Best Actress for Andrews, Best Film Editing, Best Original Music Score, Best Visual Effects, and Best Original Song for "Chim Chim Cher-ee". In 2013, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Mary Poppins is widely considered to be Walt Disney's "crowning achievement", being his only film to garner a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars in his lifetime.
Brush away the dirt and soot
Brush away your tears
Cobwebs that aren't swept away
Hang around for years
In all weathers, up all hours
We can see for miles
Our idea of heaven is
A night out on the tiles
We may look a motley crew (we may look a motley crew)
Smudged with tar and grime (Smudged with tar and grime)
But when you need a helping hand (but when you need a helping hand)
We try to step in
Try to step in
Try to step in
Just in time
We will step in
Step in time
We will step in
Step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
We will step in, step in time
Over the rooftops step in time
Over the rooftops step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Over the rooftops step in time
Watch where you step but step in time
Watch where you step but step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Watch where you step but step in time
Kick your knees up step in time
Kick your knees up step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Kick your knees up step in time
Childhood is a step in time
Parenthood's the same
Never miss a chance to get it right
Don't it seem a perfect crime
Don't it seem a shame
When the steps aren't going as smoothly as they might
That's when we step in time, step in time
That's when we step step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
That's when we step in, step in time
Spin spin spin spin spin
Link your elbows, step in time
Link your elbows, step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Link your elbows, step in time
Link your elbows, step in time
Step in time, step step in time
Just remember when you're low
Feeling in the wars
Someones up your chimney
And it isn't Santa Claus
If you need us, if you don't (if you need us, if you don't)
Doesn't make much odds (doesn't make much odds)
We'll be watching over you (we'll be watching over you)
Brushes, brooms and
Brushes, brooms and
Brushes, brushes, brooms and
And rods
Over the rooftops
Over the rooftops
Over the rooftops
Over the rooftops
Over the rooftops, step in time
Over the rooftops, step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Over the rooftops step in time
Link your elbows, step in time
Link your elbows, step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Link your elbows, step in time
Kick your knees up step in time
Kick your knees up step in time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Kick your knees up step in time
Oh step in time, step in time
Step step step
Step in time, step in time
Step step step
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
If you kick your knees up
Kick your knees up
Kick your knees up
Kick your knees up
Step step step step step step step step step
Step step step step step step step step step

Never need a reason if you step in time.

Sous la direction d’Emile Biayenda
Créés en 1991 par Emile Biayenda, batteur, auteur et compositeur, «Les Tambours de Brazza» allient tradition et modernité faisant se côtoyer tambours «Ngoma», batterie, basse, guitare et autres instruments modernes avec un naturel remarquable.
Dans «Les Tambours de Brazza» résonnent les rythmes des ethnies du Congo et les influences des batteurs résolument modernes. Il y a les joies, les déchirements des peuples. Il y a les rites de l’Afrique. Ces tambours-là nous parlent, ils nous chantent, nous renvoyant au temps où le grand tambour, ancêtre des percussions, était le compagnon de tout un continent. Magiciens du rythme et du corps «Les Tambours de Brazza» renouent certes avec la gestuelle et les rites ancestraux africains, mais on aurait tort de penser qu’il s’agit d’artistes traditionnels. Les musiques actuelles sont très présentes dans leur travail, avec ici et là un clin d’œil au rap ou reggae, ils offrent un spectacle total et contemporain et consacrent le tambour comme un instrument à part entier et défiant le temps.
Les sons jaillissent, les rythmes s’installent telles des pulsations vitales, les danses inventent de nouveaux langages à partir de pas traditionnels, les costumes allument la scène de mille couleurs et ces griots des temps modernes transmettent par leur chant et leur irrésistible gaieté un message universel de paix, de liberté et de fraternité.
