Well, LOL ...I've got some 'history' with this song and others from "My Fair Lady" ... when I was taking accordion lessons, I had to learn a 'book full' of "MFL" songs, and I never really liked any of them ... so now anytime I hear one, I still sort of cringe, and it's not because of the renditions posted here ...
As Gary said, it's not jazz, but if you WANT to hear a jazz version - the lighting is terrible, but it's all about the music:

ABSOLUTELY !!! ...I have a friend who did not like the song "Memory" from "CATS", but there was a customer in the place he played for a while who requested it every week ... he would play the first chorus twice through, never play the bridge, and give it a big ending and the woman LOVED it ...
