Practically Perfect



Practically Perfect is a deleted song from [[Mary Poppins (film)|Mary Poppins.

Lyrics from the Broadway Musical
[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
