Truly Scrumptious from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Ah let's go to the classics! This is a movie that I've watched when I was young and just recently after I bought again the CD to watch at home. I had forgotten about the plot, the characters, the songs but that's the whole adventure of re-watching movies! Ü I really liked the whole theme of the movie about imagination because it truly is a powerful thing. I especially like the character of the inventor father who miraculously made a flying, floating, tooting car.

The song that I would review today is the song sung by Truly Scrumptious and the kids of the inventor. It is really a sweet song full of colorful, imaginative pictures. I especially love the creativity of the composer and lyricist in making it full of love. This got me to think that maybe I'd like to sing this song on my wedding day as a loving response to my future wife... "Honest, Truly, I Do"! (There's also a version in the movie where the inventor had a mash-up with Truly Scrumptious called Doll on a Music Box / Truly Scrumptious)

Without further ado, here are the lyrics to this song.

Toot sweets sound like what they are
So do lollies in a lollipop jar
Gingerbread men have a gingerbread sound, we've found
Sugar plum cinnamon and lemon tart tell you what they are right from the start
And your name does the same for you

Truly Scrumptious
You're truly, truly scrumptious
Scrumptious as a cherry peach parfait
When your near us
It's so delicious
Honest, Truly, you're the answer to our wishes
Truly Scrumptious
Though we may seem presumptuous
Never, never, ever go away
Our hearts beat so unruly
Because we love you truly
Honest Truly, we do

Truly Scrumptious
You two are truly scrumptious
Scrumptious as the breeze across the bay
When you're smiling
It's so delicious
So beguiling
You're the answer to my wishes
Truly Scrumptious
You two are truly scrumptious
And I shan't forget this lovely day
My heart beats so unruly
I also love you truly
Honest truly, I do

This is a kind of movie that I would recommend to parents and even to my future kids to watch. hehe
