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>
