Who sings the song 'No One Likes A Fairy When She's Forty' and where can I get it? Is it Gracie Fields? The version I heard was very 'Carry on' with lots of 'oh what a carry on' The lyrics include: She may still have her magic powers, but that is not enough, They like their magic from a younger bit of stuff.

The definitive version was by Tessie O'Shea (you can find it on an album called Music Hall Memories). I also seem to remember Dora Bryan singing it, so that may be the 'Carry On' version you remember.
