Practically Perfect

MARY: 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 spick and span

MARY: I'm practically perfect, in every way.

JANE: Practically Perfect,

MARY: So people say!
Each virtue, virtually knows no bounds
Each trait is great, and patently 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 too stern,
Well educated, yet willing to learn,
I'm clean and honest,
My manners refind,
And I wear shoes of the sensible kind.

I suffer no nonsense,
And whilst I remain,
There's nothing else I think 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 that's just been freshly oiled

I'm so practically perfect, in every way.

(spoken) Well those are my crodentials perhaps you have a few questions?

MICHAEL: Not temperamental?
MARY: Never!
MICHAEL: Not grouchy or gruff?
MARY: The very thought!

JANE: Will you stay tender when the going gets tough?
MARY: Quite the contrary!
MICHAEL: Do you read stories without a big fuss?
JANE: Or have objections to playing with us?
MARY: (spoken) Oh, I like games. But I choose them.

MARY: Some minor improvements may not go amiss
But at all times, you must remember this.

KIDS: You're practically perfect, in every way.
MARY: I guarantee!
KIDS: Practically perfect, we hope you'll stay.
MARY: No flies on me!

Each virtue, virtually knows no bounds
Each trait is great, and patently sound
Patently sound

Spit spot,
La da da dee,
La da da daa,
La da da daa,
Da da da daa,
Da da da da da daa,
Jane, put your toys away please,

JANE
Do I have to?

MARY POPPINS
Yes,
Michael tidy your things,

MICHAEL
It's not fair!

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,
KIDS: practically perfect
You'll be practically perfect,
In every way!
