If you want this choice position Have a cheery disposition Rosy cheeks, no warts Play games, all sorts
You must be kind, you must be witty Very sweet and fairly pretty Take us on outings, give us treats Sing songs, bring sweets
Never be cross or cruel Never give us castor oil or gruel 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 Put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea
Hurry, Nanny Many thanks sincerely Jane and Michael Banks
