Practically Perfect Lyrics

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 to 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

MICHAEL
Not Tempermental?

Not Grouchy or Gruff?

JANE
Will you stay tender when the going gets tough

MICHAEL
Do you read stories without a big fuss?

JANE
Or have objections to playing with us?

MARY POPPINS
Spoken
Oh I like games but I choose them

Sung
Some minor improvements may not go a miss
but at all times remember this

JANE & MICHAEL
Your'e practically perfect in every way

MARY POPPINS
I guarantee

JANE & MICHAEL
Practically perfect we hope you stay

MARY POPPINS
No Flies on me
Each virtue vurtually knows no bound
Each trait is great and patiently sound

JANE & MICHAEL
Patiently sound

MARY POPPINS
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 & MICHAEL
Practically perfect

ALL
You/we will be practically perfect in every way
