"The Perfect Nanny" is a song in Mary Poppins sung by the children, Jane and Michael Banks.
Lyrics
Jane Banks [Spoken] :Wanted a nanny for two adorable children
[Sung]
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts
Michael Banks [Spoken]:
That's the part I put in
Jane Banks [Sung]:
Play games, all sorts
You must be kind, you must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
Take us on outings, give us treats
Sing songs, bring sweets
Never be cross or cruel
Never give us castor oil or gruel
Love us as a son and daughter
And never smell of barley water
Michael Banks [Spoken]:
I put that in, too
Jane Banks [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
Put toads in your bed
Or pepper in your tea
Hurry, Nanny!
Many thanks
Sincerely,
Jane and Michael Banks:
Jane and Michael Banks.
