Jane Banks:

[Spoken]

Wanted a nanny for two adorable children



[Sung]

If you want this choice position

Have a cheery disposition

Rosy cheeks, no warts!

Play games, all sort



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



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:
