If I invite a boy some night to dine on my fine finnan haddie



Oh, buggeration! It's Monday again. After a good weekend, including a visit from Mother - and decent enough weather to take her on a tour of the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - I am not ready for all this.

Never mind, to cheer us up on this Tacky Music Monday, we have fur coats! Sequins! Luxury! Safety gays!

...and Mary Martin singing the filthy lyrics of My Heart Belongs to Daddy:


While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don’t follow through
‘cause my heart belongs to Daddy.

If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy

Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn’t be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you’re perfectly swell
But my heart belongs to Daddy
'cause my Daddy he treats it so well

There was a dame that at a football game
Made long for the strong undergraddie
I never dream of making the team
'cause my heart belongs to Daddy

Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn’t be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you’re perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
'cause my Daddy, he treats it so well


Far better than thinking about work!

Have a good week, dear reader.

A class beyond compare



It's foul out there, and yet again we have to haul ourselves reluctantly out into it to earn our crust...

Who better to cheer us up on this Tacky Music Monday but tomorrow's birthday girl Miss Mary Martin and The Master himself Noel Coward?

It does the trick for me!


Medley:
Get Out Those Old Records
They Didn't Believe Me
'S Wonderful
Time on My Hands
I Didn't Know What Time It Was
Anything Goes
Dancing in the Dark
Ballerina
I Won't Dance
Papa, Won't You Dance with Me?


Sublime.

Have a good week, peeps!

Nobody's Perfect?







The first Nellie Forbush in South Pacific. The first Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music. The first to sing My Heart Belongs to Daddy. Peter Pan. Larry Hagman's Mum...

Today is the centenary of the multi-talented, multi-award-winning singer and actress Mary Martin!

To celebrate, here is a little gem - Miss Martin's bittersweet duet with Robert Preston at the 1967 Tony Awards. It's Nobody's Perfect from I Do! I Do!:


Magnificent...
