MARY POPPINS
|
By the time the wind has blown the weather vane around,
|
I'll show you if I can,
|
No matter what the circumstance for one thing I'm renowned,
|
My character is spit spot spic and span,
|
I'm practically perfect in every way,
|
|
JANE
|
Practically Perfect?
|
|
MARY POPPINS
|
So people say,
|
Each virtue virtually knows no bound,
|
Each trait is great and patiently sound,
|
I'm practically perfect from head to toe,
|
If I had a fault it would never dare to show,
|
I'm so practically perfect in every way,
|
|
Both prim and proper and never to stern,
|
Well educated yet willing to learn,
|
I'm clean and honest my manner refined,
|
And I wear shoes of the sensible kind,
|
I suffer no nonsense and whilst I remain,
|
There's nothing else I feel I need explain,
|
|
I'm practically perfect in every way,
|
Practically perfect that's my forte,
|
Uncanny nannies are hard to find,
|
Unique yet meek unspeakably kind,
|
I'm practically perfect not slightly soiled,
|
Running like an engine, thats just been freshly oiled,
|
I'm so practically perfect in every way,
|
Well those are my prudentials,
|
Perhaps you have a few questions?
|
|

|
Not Tempremental?
|
|
MARY POPPINS
|

|

|
MARY POPPINS

Oh, the very thought,
|
|
JANE
|
Will you stay tender when the going gets tough?
|
|
MARY POPPINS
|
Quite the contrary,
|
|
MICHAEL
|
Do you read stories without a big fuss?
|
|
MARY POPPINS
|
Umm Hmm,
|
|
JANE
|
Or have objections to playing with us?
|
|
MARY POPPINS
|
Oh, I like games, but I choose them,
|
Some minor improvements may not go a miss,
|
But at all times you must remember this,
|
|
JANE AND MICHAEL
|
You're practically perfect in every way,
|
|
MARY POPPINS
|

|
|
JANE AND MICHAEL

|
|
MARY POPPINS
|
No Flies on me,
|
Each virtue vurtually knows no bound,
|
Each trait is great,
|
|
JANE AND MICHAEL
|

MARY POPPINS

|
|
MICHAEL
|

|
|
MARY POPPINS
|
I didn't say I was fair, I said,
|
I'm practically perfect and here's my aim,
|
By the time I leave here you both will be the same,
|
You'll be practically perfect,
|
|
JANE AND MICHAEL
|
Practically perfect,
|
|

|
You/we will be practically perfect in every way
