Cherry Tree Lane (Reprise) / Being Mrs. Banks / Jolly Holiday (Reprise)
Cherry Tree Lane (Reprise)
[MR. BANKS]
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!
Precision and order
A credo for life
It's always been a comfort for me -
[MRS. BANKS]
And?
[MR. BANKS]
And my wife
Yet now in our midst, there's, well I can't explain
But something is unsettling in Cherry Tree Lane
Being Mrs. Banks
[MRS. BANKS]
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
Jolly Holiday (Reprise)
[JANE]
I still feel as if I'm dreaming
[MICHAEL]
So much fun in just one day!
[BOTH]
When Mary holds your hand
You feel so grand!
Your heart starts beating like a big brass band
[JANE]
Do look! Neleus is beaming!
[MICHAEL]
Let's hope she will stay
[JANE]
Goodnight, Neleus
[BOTH]
Let's hope she will stay
