For some reason, we always call this warmup the "Julie Andrews" one.

Despite searching, I haven't found an actual connection between her and this exercise.

That doesn't mean there isn't one -- in my mind--- Imagining Ms. Andrews doing this warmup seems to encourage me, at least, to help my pronunciation be a bit more British- ey and crisp. Whatever, it has a good result and is a nice variation on a scale warmup.

The words:

* _I just want to sing today_*

* _And sing correctly all the way_*

* _Because to sing correctly is the way to sing_*

Here, as a bonus, is a great compilation video illustrating Ms. Andrews awesome voice and her amazing range.
