The song is sung by flower girl Eliza Doolittle and her street friends. It expresses Eliza's wish for a better life.
In addition to pronouncing "lovely" as "loverly", the song lyrics highlight other facets of the Cockney accent that Professor Henry Higgins wants to refine away as part of his social experiment.
In the stage version it was sung by Julie Andrews. In the 1964 film version, Marni Nixon dubbed the song for Audrey Hepburn. Both Andrews' and Nixon's versions are available on the original cast and soundtrack albums, respectively, and Hepburn's original version is available in the specials for the DVD of the film.
"MY FAIR LADY"/"Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" - AUDREY HEPBURN
One of the best of the many show-stoppers from the classic film that won 8 Academy Awards including Best Picture of 1964, "My Fair Lady,' starring the incomparable Audrey Hepburn.
