The Perfect Nanny Lyrics - Singles - Julie Andrews & Dick Van Dyke

Wanted a nanny, for two adorable children 

If you want this choice position 

Have a cheery disposition 

Rosy cheeks, no warts 

(That's the pot I put in) 

Play games, all sorts 

You must be kind, you must be witty 

Very sweet and fairly pretty 

Take us on outings, give us treats 

Sing songs, bring sweets 

Never be cross or cruel 

Never give us castor oil or gruel 

Love us as a son and daughter 

And never smell of barley water 

(I put that in too) 

If you won't scold and dominate us 

We will never give you cause to hate us 

We won't hide your spectacles so you can't see 

Put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea 

Hurry nanny, many thanks 

Sincerely, Jane and Michael banks
