The Perfect Nanny

If you (G)want this (D7)choice (G)position,

(D7)have a (G)cheery (D7)(G)disposition, (C)rosy (G)cheeks,

(D7)no (G)warts!

(A)Play games, (D7)all sorts.

You must be (G)kind, you (D7)must be (G)witty,

(D7)very (G)sweet and (D7)fairly (G)pretty;

(C)take us on (G)outings, (D7)give us (G)(A7)treats,

(G7)Never be cross or (C)cruel;

(A7)love us as a son and (D)daughter,

(G)and (A)never smell of barley (D7)water.

If you won't (G)scold and (D7)(G)dominate us,

(D7)we will never (G)give you (D7)cause to (G)hate us.

We (C)won't hide your (Am)spectacles so (Bm)you can't (Em7)see,

Jane and (D7)Michael
