Nannies, stop applyin’,
no use even tryin’
when Mary comes poppin’ by.
Hey, she’s the one that you’ve been wishin’
yes, rosy cheeks, sweet disposition,
not to mention she flew!
in all: too good to be true (chim-chim-charoo).
A parrot head on umbe-rella
posture, manners – simply stellar,
she looks perfect for you?
Watch the things she can do!
Chalk designs turn into doors,
trophies won on wooden horse,
when sweet Mary comes poppin’ by.
Bag-shaped space anomaly,
meet the ceiling, have some tea,
when sweet Mary comes poppin’ by.
And all those children, foxes, sweeps and penguins cherish her –
no matter if you’ve got kids or not
gracious, give that girl a shot!
Kind, but firm, won’t lose her poise,
clicking fingers, clearing toys
when sweet Mary comes poppin’ by.
Your life will change forever – talking mirrors, magic storms,
long made-up words and blatant birds –
instant pets that sing duets, oh,
pretty pretty parrot head can talk!
Hire her and buy some chalk!
Then sweet Mary comes poppin’,
Lo! The winds have changed, and she comes poppin’ by,
when my supernanny Mary comes pop, pop, poppin’ by.
