Cherry Tree Lane (Part 1) (Live)

Katie Nana's gone! And is it any wonder?
Driven half demented by your children's pranks?

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.

We are never going to find the perfect nanny.

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!

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
Of course, George but.

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.

I thought Katie Nana would be firm with the children
She always looked so cross
Winifred, never confuse efficiency with a liver complaint
Umbrella
Oh, if only we could find someone like your old nanny.

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.

Precision and order
He wants nothing less
It's like an army barracks
Yes, and we're in a mess
No wonder the nannies are driven insane
We're living in a madhouse
In Cherry Tree Lane.

Now, place an advertisement in the Times stating that Jane and Michael Banks require the best possible nanny
At the lowest possible wage.
