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
