Question for Shaiman and Wittman

Just curious......

In the song "The Cover is Not the Book" from "Mary Poppins Returns" is the line "the king might be a crook" an intentional (and not very subtle) dig against our current "Dear Leader?" Just asking....

If anyone knows this answer definitively, please let us know. Thank you!

I think King George V was reigning during the time period of this movie so the comment probably alluded to him.

Also, Disney has been working on this for a couple years now so it's very possible these songs were written before the 2016 election.
