Practice Makes Perfect
Some day you will be married
You’ll be living with your husband
And I know that he’ll be happy
‘cause you’re gonna do it right
I know about your effort
And all your persevering
That’s why I’m here to help you
So let’s talk about tonight
Practice makes perfect ~ and you know it’s true
Practice makes perfect ~ so I’m here for you
It’s not an imposition, we’re together on this mission
Practice makes perfect ~ we’ve got work to do
You’ve got the basic talent
The necessary skill set
But now we have to study
There are secrets to unlock
We have to put the time in
A thousand repetitions
Until we’re both exhausted
We can work around the clock
Practice makes perfect ~ and you know it’s true
Practice makes perfect ~ so I’m here for you
It’s not an imposition, we’re together on this mission
Practice makes perfect ~ we’ve got work to do
One. . . .two. . . three. . . four
Then tomorrow, even more
Seven. . . eight. . . nine. . . ten
We’re not done, let’s go again
Practice makes perfect ~ and you know it’s true
Practice makes perfect ~ so I’m here for you
It’s not an imposition, we’re together on this mission
Practice makes perfect ~ we’ve got work to do
