[MRS BRILL] Katie Nana! Who gets stuck with the children with no nanny in the house? Me, that's who! [KATIE NANA] I've said my say, Mrs Brill, and that's all I'll say. I've done with this house forever! [MRS BRILL] Well, good riddance, then. [WINIFRED] Katie Nana! Gone? Are you quite sure [MRS BRILL] Gone! And is it any wonder? [WINIFRED] Choosing the right nanny I keep drawing blanks Do you really think I made another blunder What on earth am I to say to Mr Banks? George, dear I'm feeling so bereft, dear Another nanny's left, dear Every nanny goes We're unlucky, I suppose [WINIFRED, MRS BRILL, JANE, MICHAEL & ROBERTSON AY] We are never going to find the perfect nanny [GEORGE] Nonsense! Precision and order That's all that I ask The running of a household A straightforward task The children, the servants They're all your domain Whilst I remain the sovereign Of Cherry Tree Lane Coat! [MRS BRILL] Coming, sir. [GEORGE] The simple truth is you've engaged six nannies over the last four months and they've all been unqualified disasters. A nanny should govern A nanny should rule A nanny is a paragon Who suffers no fool A nanny's a stalwart Our children would gain By having such a nanny In Cherry Tree Lane [WINIFRED] Of course, George but-- [GEORGE] So take control of situations Show your authority When interviewing staff You know your role They know their stations Efficiency and forethought Cut the jobs in half Briefcase. [WINIFRED] I thought Katie Nana would be firm with the children. She always looked so cross. [GEORGE] Winifred, never confuse efficiency with a liver complaint. [WINIFRED] Clear thinking, sound judgement [GEORGE] That's how to advance [GEORGE & WINIFRED] Then things will run like clockwork [GEORGE] Leave nothing to chance When nannies go missing The answer is plain Our children must be monsters [WINIFRED] Oh how can they be monsters? [GEORGE & WINIFRED] In Cherry Tree Lane [GEORGE] Umbrella. [WINIFRED] Oh, if only we could find someone like your old nanny. [GEORGE] I'm afraid that's not realistic, my dear. Few women alive could manage Miss Andrew's standards of efficiency. Besides, we could never afford someone of her calibre. [MRS BRILL & ROBERTSON AY] Precision and order He wants nothing less [ROBERTSON AY] It's like an army barracks [MRS BRILL] Yes, and we're in a mess [MRS BRILL & ROBERTSON AY] No wonder the nannies are driven insane We're living in a madhouse In Cherry Tree Lane [GEORGE] Now, place an advertisment in the Times stating that Jane and Michael Banks require the best possible nanny… At the lowest possible wage. [JANE] Father, we've written our own advertisment. [GEORGE] What? [WINIFRED] Oh please, George, I think we should hear it. [JANE] Wanted. A nanny for two adorable children. [GEORGE] Adorable? Well, that's debatable, I must say.
