Song by Mary Poppins Original London Cast<br /><br>

MARY POPPINS<br>

By the time the wind has blown the weather vane around<br>

I'll show you if I can<br>

No matter what the circumstance for one thing I'm renowned<br>

My character is spit spot spic and span<br>

I'm practically perfect in every way<br>

<br>

JANE<br>

Practically Perfect?<br>

<br>

MARY POPPINS<br>

So people say<br>

Each virtue virtually knows no bound each trait is great and patiently sound<br>

I'm practically perfect from head to toe<br>

If I had a fault it would never dare to show<br>

I'm so practically perfect in every way<br>

<br>

Both prim and proper and never to stern<br>

Well-educated yet willing to learn<br>

I'm clean and honest my manner refined<br>

and i wear shoes of the sensible kind<br>

I suffer no nonsense and whilst I remain<br>

there's nothing else i feel i need to explain<br>

<br>

I'm practically perfect in every way <br>

Practically perfect that's my forte<br>

uncanny nannies are hard to find <br>

Unique yet meek unspeakably kind<br>

I'm practically perfect not slightly soiled<br>

running like an engine thats just been freshly oiled<br>

I'm so practically perfect in every way<br>

<br>

MICHAEL<br>

Not Tempermental?<br>

<br>

Not Grouchy or Gruff?<br>

<br>

JANE<br>

Will you stay tender when the going gets tough<br>

<br>

MICHAEL<br>

Do you read stories without a big fuss?<br>

<br>

JANE<br>

Or have objections to playing with us?<br>

<br>

MARY POPPINS<br>

(spoken) Oh I like games but I choose them<br>

<br>

(Sung)<br>

Some minor improvements may not go a miss<br>

but at all times remember this<br>

<br>

JANE AND MICHAEL<br>

Your'e practically perfect in every way<br>

<br>

MARY POPPINS<br>

I guarantee<br>

<br>

JANE AND MICHAEL<br>

Practically perfect we hope you stay<br>

<br>

MARY POPPINS<br>

No Flies on me <br>

Each virtue vurtually knows no bound <br>

Each trait is great and patiently sound<br>

<br>

JANE AND MICHAEL<br>

Patiently sound<br>

<br>

MARY POPPINS<br>

I'm practically perfect and here's my aim<br>

By the time I leave here you both will be the same<br>

You'll be practically perfect<br>

<br>

JANE AND MICHAEL<br>

Practically perfect<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

You/we will be practically perfect in every way<br>

<br>

[Thanks to MICHAEL for lyrics]<br>
