Practically Perfect

[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 renown 
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 patently 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 too 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 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 that's just been freshly oiled 
I'm so practically perfect 
In every way 

Well, those are my credentials. Perhaps you have a few questions? 

[MICHAEL] 
Not temperamental? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Never. 

[MICHAEL] 
Not grouchy or gruff? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Oh, the very thought. 

[JANE] 
Will you stay tender 
When the going gets tough? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Quite the contrary. 

[MICHAEL] 
Do you read stories 
Without a big fuss? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Mmm-hmm. 

[JANE] 
Or have objections 
To playing with us? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Oh, I like games, but I choose them. 
Some minor improvements may not go amiss 
But at all times you must remember this 

[JANE & MICHAEL] 
You're practically perfect 
In every way 

[MARY POPPINS] 
I guarantee 

[JANE & MICHAEL] 
Practically perfect 
We hope you'll stay 

[MARY POPPINS] 
No flies on me 

Each virtue virtually knows no bound 
Each trait is great 

[JANE & MICHAEL] 
And patently sound 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Patently sound 
Spit-spot! Jane, put your toys away, please. 

[JANE] 
Do I have to? 

[MARY POPPINS] 
Yes. Michael, tidy your things. 

[MICHAEL] 
It's not fair! 

[MARY POPPINS] 
I didn't say I was fair. I said… 
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 

[MARY POPPINS, JANE & MICHAEL] 
You (We) will be practically perfect 
In every way
