Good For Nothing / Being Mrs Banks

Mary Poppins


[GEORGE] 
When you realise your worst fears have been realised 
And certainties now seem a bit less sure 
Ideals that at one time one idealised 
Now don't seem so ideal any more 

Where once there was order 
Chaos has been loosed 
And home truths like chickens 
Are coming home to roost 

Illusions may shatter 
But memories stay 
The things that really matter 
I lost on the way 

The sovereign, the master 
And long may he reign 
The famous good-for-nothing 
Of Cherry Tree Lane 

[WINIFRED] 
George, dear 
I know it hurts your pride, dear 
But you can't just run and hide, dear 
Why can't you see that I'm here and I am on your side 

Whenever you spoke of Miss Andrew 
You showered the woman with praise 
But now that I've met dear Miss Andrew 
There are one or two things I'd rephrase 

To think you were raised by that monster 
And carried that burden through life 
If only you had seen that you 
Could share it with your wife 

Being Mrs Banks 
It's easy to forget 
The way I felt that summer's day 
The day that we first met 

Being Mrs Banks 
Being kissed by you 
A man of dreams 
Who made me feel 
That wishes could come true 

And now although you're lost 
It's time that we closed ranks 
I'll fight for the man who needs freeing 
The real you no one is seeing 
And you'll find a way of just being 
Being Mister Banks
