[Dialogue]
JANE & MICHAEL : Wanted a nanny for two adorable children

[Sung]
[Jane]
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts
Play games, all sorts

[Jane]
You must be kind, you must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
Take us on outings, give us treats
[Michael]
Sing songs, bring sweets

Never be cross or cruel
Never feed us Castor oil or gruel

[Jane]
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
[Michael]
Put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea

[Jane]
Hurry nanny, many thanks
[Both]
Sincerely,
[Jane]
Jane
[Michael]
and Michael
[Both]
Banks!
