Mrs Brill: Katie Nanna! And who gets stuck with the children with no nanny in the house? Me! That's who! Katie Nanna: I've said my say, Mrs. Brill, and that's all I'll say, I've done with this house forever! Mrs. Brill: Well good riddance, then! Winifred: Katie Nanna! Gone? Are you quite sure... Mrs. Brill: Gone! And is it any wonder? Winifred: Choosing the right nanny - I keep drawing blanks 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, Every nanny goes We're unlucky I suppose. Winifred, Mrs. Brill, Jane, Michael & Robertson Ay: We are never going to find the perfect nanny George: 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! Mrs. Brill Coming sir. George: 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 stalwart Our children would gain By having such a nanny in cherry tree lane. Winifred: Of course, George, but... George: 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! Winifred: I thought Katie Nanna would be firm with the children. She always looked so cross. George: Winifred, never confuse efficiency with a liver complaint. Winifred: Clear thinking Sound judgment. George: That's how to advance Winifred and George: Then things will run like clockwork. George: Leave nothing to chance When nannies go missing The answer is plain Our children must be monsters. Winifred: Oh how can they be monsters Winifred and George: in Cherry Tree Lane. George: Umbrella! Winifred: If only we could find someone like your old nanny. George: 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 caliber. Mrs. Brill and Robertson Ay: Precision and order He wants nothing less Robertson Ay: It's like an army barracks Mrs. Brill: Yes and we're in the mess Mrs. Brill and Robertson Ay: No wonder the Nannies are driven insane We're living in a madhouse in Cherry Tree Lane. George: Now place an advertisement in the Times stating that Jane and Michael Banks require the best possible nanny at the lowest possible wage. Jane: Father, we've written our own advertisement. George: What! Winifred: Please, George. I think we should hear it. Jane: Wanted. A nanny. For two adorable children. George: Adorable? Well, that's debatable, I must say.
