| General |
Toot sweets sound like what they are
So do lollys in a lollypop 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
By coincidence,
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
Truly Scrumptious is a fictional character in the 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, based on the children's novel of the same name by famed James Bond author Ian Fleming.
She does not appear in the book. In the film the character is portrayed by singer/actress Sally Ann Howes.
Sally Ann Howes, April 28, 2005
Miss Howes infused the character with a sense of good breeding while at the same time embodying the very essence of being an "English Rose." A rose, however, always has thorns, and she did not allow the character to become fluff but gave her a dogged determination as well as a slight bit of temper, a temper that is also reflected in Lord Scrumptious' character as played by James Robertson Justice.
Sally Ann Howes, 1983
During the shooting of the film, Howes developed a very close friendship with Heather Ripley and Adrian Hall, who played the children of Caractacus Potts. Having felt somewhat isolated on movie sets as a child actress, Howes wanted to make certain that Ripley and Hall were completely at ease and comfortable on set.
In the film, Truly sings the Sherman Brothers' song "Lovely Lonely Man" about Caractacus Potts. When the songwriters demonstrated the song for producer Cubby Broccoli he reportedly commented that the song was the most beautiful he'd ever heard. Ironically, it was the only song from the original motion picture which wasn't included in the stage production.
Various actresses have now played Truly Scrumptious in stage productions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

"Lovely Lonely man"
"Lovely Lonely Man" is a song from the 1968 musical film, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was written by Richard & Robert Sherman and sung by Sally Ann Howes as "Truly Scrumptious". In the song she pines for eccentric inventor, Caractacus Potts (played by Dick Van Dyke.
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,"
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" is the Academy Award nominated song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the 1968 musical motion picture. In the film it is sung by Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes. "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" is also featured prominently in the award winning stage musical of the same name which premiered in London at the Palladium in 2002 and on Broadway in 2005 at the newly refurbished Hilton Theatre.
"Truly Scrumptious,"
Truly Scrumptious is a song performed in the 2002/2005 stage musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as well as the original, 1968 motion picture. The song was written by Robert B. Sherman & Richard M. Sherman. It is about the lead female character, Truly.
The first time we hear the song, it is sung by by Adrian Hall and Heather Ripley (as Jeremy and Jemimah): the twin children of widower Caractacus Potts (played by Dick Van Dyke in the film and originated by Michael Ball in the 2002 stage musical version).
"Hushabye Mountain,"
"Hushabye Mountain" is a popular ballad which appears in the 1968 Cubby Broccoli motion picture, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
In the motion picture it is sung twice, first as an idealic lullabye by Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke) to his children. It is then reprised later in the film when the children of Vulgaria have lost all hope of salvation. The song is also featured prominently in the 2002 and 2005 stage musical versions.
"Me Ol' Bamboo,"
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 apparati. Songwriter/lyricist Robert B. Sherman was inspired to write the song by his own use of a bamboo walking stick. Sherman was wounded in the knee in World War II which is why he walks with a cane.
"Toot Sweets,"
"Toot Sweets" is a song/musical number from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the 1968 musical motion picture. In the film it is sung by Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes. "Toot Suites" is also featured prominently in the multi-award winning stage musical of the same name which premiered in London at the Palladium in 2002 and on Broadway in 2005 at the newly refurbished Hilton Theatre.
The song title is a play on words, based on the late 19th century French expression "tout de suite", meaning all at once. In the context of the film and stage musical, "Toot Sweets" is about candy cane that has holes in it making the candy possible to be played like a flute.
The song was written by Robert B. Sherman & Richard M. Sherman (also known as the "Sherman Brothers").
"The Roses Of Success,"
"The Roses Of Success" is an "up tempo" song and musical number from the popular 1968 Cubby Broccoli motion picture, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In the film it is sung when "Grandpa Potts" (played by Lionel Jeffries) is caught in the Vulgarian inventors' workshop and is forced to create a car that both floats and flies or face the consequences.
The other imprisoned inventors sing this song in the hopes that they might cheer up the despondent "Grandpa". The song is also featured prominently in the 2002 and 2005 stage musical versions of the film.
"You Two,"
"You Two" is a song from the 1968 film musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It also appears in the 2002/2005 stage musical version as well. It was written by Robert and Richard Sherman.
The song is sung by a single/widower father ("Caractacus Potts") to his two twin children ("Jeremy" and "Jemima"). An inventor by trade, Potts sings the song against the back drop of his eccentric inventor's workshop.
"Chu-Chi Face,"
"Chu-Chi Face" is a song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the 1968 musical motion picture.
In the film it is sung by Gert Fröbe as Baron Bomburst and Anna Quayle as Baroness Bomburst. "Chu-Chi Face" is also featured prominently in the award winning stage musical version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang which premiered in London at the Palladium in 2002 and on Broadway in 2005 at the newly refurbished Hilton Theatre. Brian Blessed and Nichola McAuliffe originated their respective stage roles at the London Palladium in 2002.
"P.O.S.H.,"
"Posh!" is an "up tempo" song and musical number from the popular 1968 Cubby Broccoli motion picture, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It is written by the songwriting team of Sherman & Sherman. In the film it is sung when "Grandpa Potts" (played by Lionel Jeffries) is being carried away in his outhouse. He sees the situation as serendipitous due until he finally meets his kidnapper, Baron Bombhurst in Vulgaria.
"Doll On A Music Box"
This sequence is a part of Caractacus's story, which he is telling to Truly and his children. In the song, Caractacus plays a a flimsy clown, too flexible for his own good; whereas, Truly plays a precious, too-cutesy doll which is too rigid for her own good. Twice during the counterpoint, the clown approaches the doll, only to be slapped in the face.
This mirrors the earlier "real life" story where Caractacus's first two interactions with Truly are mistimed as well (first in the workshop, then when Caractacus accidentally runs Truly's car off the road). The clown keeps trying, when suddenly he captures his own reflection and realizes how foolish he appears.
At first this looks to be a malfunction in the clown's mechanism, but then the mechanism recalibrates and all is well. The clown properly courts the doll and is about to kiss the doll's hand, when she retracts her hand from him just in time. Rigidity will out. Only at the end of the movie do Caractacus and Truly truly see eye to eye.

A stage musical based on the book and movie was launched at the London Palladium theatre in 2002 - Chitty the Musical, starring Michael Ball. This version of the show closed in September 2005.
Despite some initial problems with the mechanical flying Chitty used in the show, it has enjoyed a very successful run.
A Broadway version of this show opened on April 28, 2005 at the Hilton Theatre in New York City. It was also nominated, but lost, for the following 2005 Tony Awards:

Jan Maxwell (The Baroness)
Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical (Jan Maxwell)
Tony Award for Best Scenic Design of a Musical (Anthony Ward)
Tony Award for Best Lighting Design of a Musical (Mark Henderson)
The Broadway production closed on December 31, 2005 after 34 previews and 284 regular performances.
After closing in London, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang took to the road on its first ever European tour. The first stop on this was at the Sunderland Empire, where it previewed from December 9, 2005 and premiered on December 13, 2005.
It will tour Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Southampton and Edinburgh.

About me:
     
Miss Truly Scrumptious
 
I develop a romantic relationship with the widower Caractacus Potts. Though uncommon, the name "Truly" is in fact a female first name.
My father, Lord Scrumptious, is the president and owner of the Scrumptious Sweet Company. I am a woman of good breeding while at the same time embodying the very essence of being an "English Rose."
A rose, however, always has thorns, and I am not fluff but possess a dogged determination as well as a slight bit of temper, a temper that is also reflected in my father Lord Scrumptious.
I developed a very close friendship with Jeremy and Jemima, who are the children of Caractacus Potts.
Happy Memories:
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a dilapidated former racing car and a three-time Grand Prix winner, is the favourite playtoy of Jeremy and Jemima Potts, and is about to be sold for scrap. As the children rush home to persuade their father, to buy the car for them, I narrowly avoid running over them. So I decided to take the children home, meeting their widowed father, Caractacus Potts, an inventor who subsequently renovates the old car.
After repairing the car, the Potts family head off to the seaside for a picnic. Professor Potts accidently runs me off the road and the family persuaded myself to come along on their picnic.
At the beach, Caractacus spins a story about pirates who are trying to steal Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
VULGARIA
The pirates are headed by Baron Bomburst of Vulgaria. They capture Grandpa Potts, having mistaken him for the professor, and take him to Vulgaria hoping he will build another "fantasmogorical" motor car for the Baron. However, the Potts family witness the kidnapping and chase the bandits back to Vulgaria in the magical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
"There are children here. I can smell them,"
In the land of Vulgaria children are outlawed, as the Baroness hates children. The only toymaker in town makes toys exclusively for the Baron. When Professor Potts and the Toymaker hatch a plan to rescue Grandpa, and Truly goes out to go get food, the two Potts children, Jemima and Jeremy, are captured by the terrifying Child Catcher.
Eventually, Caractacus and Truly, with some help from the Toymaker, defeat the Baron and his armies, and set free all the children. The Potts family is reunited and return to England.
Potts discovers that one of his inventions, "Toot Sweets", previously rejected as being useless for humans, are wonderful for dogs and as "Woof Sweets" will make him a fortune. Caractacus and I decide to get married, in a classic happy ending.
