The Perfect Nanny Lyrics by Harry Stott, Charlotte Spencer

Mary Poppins (Original London Cast)

2005

[JANE]
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts
[MICHAEL, spoken]
That's the part I put in!
[JANE, sung]
Play games, all sorts
You must be kind, you must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
[MR. BANKS, spoken]
Of all the ridiculous ideas -
[MRS. BANKS]
Oh George, please!
[JANE, sung]
Take us on outings, give us treats
[MICHAEL]
Sing songs, bring sweets
Never be cross or cruel
Never give us castor oil or gruel - eugh!
[JANE]
Love us as a son and daughter -
[MICHAEL]
And never smell of barley water
(spoken)
I put that one in too!
[JANE, sung]
If you won't scold and dominate us
We will never give you cause to hate us
We won't hide your spectacles so you can't see
[MICHAEL]
Put toads in your bed, or pepper in your tea
[JANE]
Hurry, Nanny
Many thanks
[BOTH]
Sincerely
[JANE]
Jane
[MICHAEL]
And Michael!
[BOTH]
Banks
