And the kids are actually smiling. (Charles Shaughnessy!)

And the kids are actually smiling. (Such wannabes).
And the kids are actually smiling. (Such joie de vivre).
The theme song from the sitcom "The Nanny."
On her family
On her fanny
She was there to sell makeup, but bothers no more.
She was there to sell makeup but father saw more
She's the lady in dread with everybody else's wedding plans.
She's the lady in red when everybody else is wearing tan.
The Nanny need friend.
The Nanny named Fran.
The father finds her beguiling
Just what he sees.
The father finds her beguiling
Watch out C.C.
The kids are actually smiling, such wannabees.
The kids are actually smiling, such joie de vivre.
The nanny ain't Fran.
The nanny named Fran.
Til her boyfriend beat her up in one of those pushing scenes
Til her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes
Banana in France
or
The nanny in France
The nanny named Fran
So over the bridge from Flushing to the shopping mall
or
So over the bridge from Flushing to the shop next door
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door
