The Perfect Marfa

Back when we were trying to find a new Marfa, we composed and sang this song to our parents. Man, you should have seen it. We were so cute.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Spoken]
Wanted a nanny Marfa for two adorable children accomplished rock musicians

[Sung]
If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition Be a kick ass rock musician
Rosy cheeks, no warts! (Actually, we're pretty lenient about warts)
Play games music, all sorts (And games are cool, too)

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 the shaft
Love us as a son and daughter platonic friend
And never smell of barley water feces or garbage

If you won't scold and dominate us
We will never give you cause to hate us
We won't hide your spectacles game controller
So you can't see play video games
Put toads in your bed
Or pepper in your tea video games
Hurry, Nanny Marfa!
Many thanks
Sincerely,

Jane and Michael Banks. Henry and Brennan, The Worthies.
