Tekst piosenki 'Practically Perfect' wykonawcy Mary Poppins

[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
