Let's Hope She Will Stay

What good are rules if you can bend them?
We need a nanny who is disciplined and stern
With boys and girls you don't befriend them
I fear that Mary Poppins has a lot to learn.

Being Mrs. Banks
Should be an easy role
And yet it's one which I don't seem too good at on the whole
I have a comfy home
I have a simple life
I have a name which tells the world I'm someone else's wife.

Being Mrs. Banks
What does that entail?
Facing tests of character I always seem to fail
And as for his "best people"
Well I'd like to say no thanks
They're not exactly my idea
Of being Mrs. Banks.

I still feel as if I'm dreaming
So much fun in just one day
When Mary holds your hand you feel so grand
Your heart starts beating like a big brass band.

I'm sure Neleus is beaming!
Let's hope she will stay
Goodnight Neleus!
Let's hope she will stay
Precious and order...
