“If you won’t scold and dominate us, we will never give you cause to hate us.” :’) ❤️ I don’t know why, but that is my favorite line of the song. Jane and Michael weren’t bad children; they were actually quite kind and obedient. They were merely lonely and wanted to have some fun.

Mr. Bank's exasperated eye roll is me on an internal level

This is. The cutest. Thing. EVER.

George Banks says that two adorable children is debatable. That is harsh.

Not sure why but this particular song has always tugged at my heart strings. I always get a little misty at the, if you won't scold and dominate us, we will never give you cause to hate us part. I know it's not sad but so adorable, it's heartbreaking. The casting for this movie was perfection, written in the stars. I can't imagine anyone else in any of the roles. Just perfect. The soundtrack is mind blowing, chock-full of the most iconic songs of our time but this little song is a sweet gem that moves me every time.

I played Jane Banks in this musical on Broadway. Some of the best years of my life. Listening to this song gives me the chills, and brings back so many sweet memories. If you can believe it, I haven't gotten a part as big as that for nine years. I absolutely love "Mary Poppins"!!!

I am a Certified Professional Nanny and this just warms my heart!!! :)

I wish every job description sounded this charming.

"That's the part I put in!" The kid's a beast.

I love this song. It's so cute. I love how they look at each other when she says "Pepper in your tea."

This is so ADORABLE. :D I remember when I did dance recitals and for the ballet section each year they did a classic tale, and the year they did Mary Poppins it was so beautiful. The two kids that did the dance to this song were so great. :D That's what this always reminds me of.

Sweetest song. Jane Banks (Karen Dotrice) was the cutest kid ever.

As a preschool teacher, when applying for a job I once used this song to include influences that have shaped my teaching.

As great as the books are, one thing that always bothered me was that Jane and Michael are always acting like brats, and are always the ones who have to learn the lesson. I like the fact that the film gives the kids a bit of dignity, and suggests that they actually DO have something to say.

does anyone else nod with them at the end of the song or is that just me? I've done that since I was like 4 or 5

I can't quite explain but this is just the absolute sweetest thing EVER 💚💛💜

Jane and Michel were only trying to do their best weren't they?

Aw.... this is so cute! I love this! I have tears in my eyes right now.

Singing this (or a spoonful of sugar) for an audition next week for Jane at my local summer theater thingy. So excited! I love Mary Poppins!

lol "never smell of barley water". i'm guessing one of their past nannies had a problem with the bottle

RIP 🙏 Matthew Garber played the original Micheal Banks in this original Mary Poppins movie (1956 - 1977)

If nothing else, they should be commended for coming up with all those attributes that rhyme! And Mary Poppins is their perfect nanny!

So adorable 😊 I always had a tear in my eye even as a child

When I was younger I was absolutely obsessed with Mary poppies and I learnt all the words of this poem off by heart (I was only like 7!)

I used this song to audition for a Marry Poppins Broadway as Jane and I got in. :)

My dad got to be in this one. He was the voices of the fox , merry go round operator and one of the penguins. Dallas McKennon

This movie is so good and the kiddos are adorable.

Thank you Julie for many enjoyable musicals that I have enjoyed along with my daughter and now my granddaughter! She is nineteen months and is learning music through you lovely voice. God Bless Always 🙏✝️😇❤️

When I was in grade school, we had to sing for our music test. In the 4th grade, I sang this song for my music test. The teacher loved it!

Wonderful! Always loved this little ditty

I'm auditioning for the part of jane in a high school play! I'M SO EXCITED I sang and sang and I might get the part wish me luck

totally cute. i loved this movie when i was 5 and there was no such thing as youtube and i still love it now

💞Makes me nostalgic 😊

I'm here because I was watching Mary Poppins Returns and I missed this song, George Banks and the kids, I missed everything from the original honestly.

I'm doing Mary Poppins for ballet! I'm Jane, and my cousin/classmate is Michael

love this song

I remember going to the movie theater to see this, when it first appeared in 1965 ... people were sitting on the floor, every seat was taken!

By the way that father treats those kids, they ought to be singing that song for a new dad.

If I’m gonna hire a nanny, My requirements is this! :)

I’m playing Michael in my school’s production and I’m honestly freaking the hell out

We had this musical on record as long ago as I can remember. I was so young I didn't understand many of the words. I also remember being totally enraptured and I've loved musicals ever since, not to mention Julie Andrews.

I am doing this for a play for school. This is so cute!

I love the little nod at the end. Gets me every time.

I personally think that Karen Dotrice (the actress that played Jane) should've come back to acting and been part of the *Harry Potter* films as a Hogwarts professor.

They are soooo cute omggggg 💕

I love the little nod at the end in time with the music. :D

Loved that the actress that played Jane and the 1964 original, was in a cameo role and Mary Poppins returns, saying many thanks sincerely

"We won't hide your spectacles So you can't see Put toads in your bed Or paper in your tea...."

Whenever I hear this song I can't help but think of The Simpsons Sherry Boppins episode lol!

Many thanks Sincerely, Jane and Michael Banks:

When I first met my wife she was working as a nanny. The day I met the family she was working for, the little girl told me she was the best nanny ever. So good she met every qualification of both advertisements in Mary Poppins.

Bravo și felicitări pentru toată echipa de filmare care au realizat acest mare videoclip original din filmul marry poppins.

When I was 12, my summer camp put on a Mary Poppins play. I played Jane and sang this song.

Esa es una escena memorable de la película 🎥 Msry Poppins de 1964, cuando los niños Jane y Michael Banks describen a la niñera que quieren ( ya tuvieron muchas que no eran las adecuadas para ellas. Siempre será la película 🎥 preferida de mi niñez. La he visto tantas veces que ya perdí la cuenta. Cada vez que la veo, me emociona, como la primera vez, como cuando era una niña ❤😊🌈⛅️🌦🌧🌨🌂☂️☔️🌞🌟⭐️🌜

I am Jane Banks in my theater group's show of Mary Poppins! I was this musical when I was very little, and it inspired me to do theater. I love this show, and I am so glad to have seen this! So if my Mom hears me singing "The Perfect Nanny", I'll just tell her I am practicing

How do I still remember all the words to this, from when I was like 4?!! I even remembered the bell bit at “if you won’t scold and *ding* dominate us” omddd I also said their names and did the nod at the end with them!! I WAS TERRIFYINGLY OBSESSED WITH THIS MOVIE OK!!😭😭😂 As I shouldddd...

Until I saw Saving Mr. Banks, I always thought Jane was singing "Never give us castor oil or GLUE." For 30+ years, I had that lyric wrong. Only when I watched SMB did I realize that it's actually "gruel," not "glue." I guess when I was a kid, I didn't know the word "gruel," so my brain inserted the closest-sounding word to "gruel," which was "glue"! And as a kid, it made perfect sense to me why Michael would make such a face at the prospect of being made to ingest glue!

Awwwww. Karen Dotrice is just SO ADORABLE!!!😍🥰

Brilliant songs by the great Sherman brothers.

Este film se estreno en 1964, Yo lo he visto en Buenos Aires, en los 60. Hace no tanto tiempo lo han pasado por el canal de Disney y mis niños se han emocionado de ver un film tan bonito, de tantos años, que yo he visto cuando niña tambien

Never give, and I will never be miss sing songs. Us sing them.

woah, i need a nanny like this but wait, i'm too old for a nanny -plot twist-

Mrs. Banks is honestly one of the best characters in Mary Poppins.

Anyone else here because they can only remember The Simpsons version despite watching this a million times as a child? 😂

Karen Dotrice comes from an acting family. Her late father Roy was a veteran stage, fiilm and TV actor whom I best remember for his guest appearances on "Space: 1999".

“Many Thanks, Sin- cer-ley……. Jane and Michael Banks.”

I Love Ballat : )

That is a very cute song!

Everyone who didn't know, the Dad and the son are dead. Michael (son) died at the age of 21 of sickness, and Mr Banks (dad) from age.

Classic! I love being a nanny :)

this bit always makes me tear up, no idea why! jane reminds of my niece when she was younger

i have been looking for this for so long. but haven't known what to type in. thankyou for uploading. Jane and Michael are so cute:]

Lisa] If you wish to be our sitter Please be sweet, and never bitter Help us with maths and book reports [Bart] Might I add, eat my shorts [Lisa] Bart! [Bart] Just cuttin' through the treacle [Lisa] If Maggie's fussy, don't avoid her [Bart] Let me get away with moider [Lisa] Teach us songs and magic tricks [Homer] Might I add, no fat chicks! [Marge] Homer! [Lisa] The nanny we want is kindly and sage [Homer] And one who will work for minimum wage [Lisa] Hurry, nanny, things are grim - [Grampa] - I'll do it! [Bart & Lisa] Anyone but him!

Love this song I’m singing it today

I luv how they say " dominate us"!

If they thought songs were bad or just existing in general then just wait till they see our generation

I was sent here by Mary Poppins Returns. There’s a cameo by the original Jane

This is so cute

Such a sweet song.

Love the mom's attentiveness, taking the kids seriously and loving them. The dad can go jump, though.

Many thanks Sincerely, Jane and Michael Banks: Jane and Michael Banks.

My heart just breaks for the kids. They're likely emotionally neglected by their parents at this point in the movie if they're asking that their nanny be able to play with them, sing them songs, and take them on outings. A kid wouldn't be asking somebody else for these things if their parents were already giving it to them. Their requirements are so reasonable.

I'm a big kid cause this is still one of my favorite movies and this is my favorite song off the soundtrack

Adorable, that’s debatable I must say...

i love this song its so cute!!

George standing there like braaaa Mrs. Banks with a cute non judgemental smile the whole time

As everyone knows,this song is heard later on,near the end as an "instumental reprise"as Mary Poppins is packing her things and getting ready to leave(shortly before Let's go fly a kite).

this song is a children's dream come true. even after seeing Saving Mr. Banks

karen and mathew are the cutest kids i love them so much they are so precious they are both wonderful actors for being so very young form suzanne mason in fairffield calif.

This song is full of nightmare and terror about saying TREATS!

My favorite part is “Sincerely Jane And Micheal Banks!” Idk why

Omg I’m in Mary Poppins jr! I’m a chimney sweep

The beat drops at " we won't hide your spectacles so you can't see"

They are soooooooooooooooo cute!!!! ^^

Michael died from hepatitis at 21 years old.

they are so sweet!!
