Her oeuvre consisted of standards (British and international), plus cover versions of contemporary hits. A 2003 release (The Very Best Of Mrs Mills, on EMI Gold) includes such hits as "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend", "Hello, Dolly!", "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" and "Yellow Submarine".
Little has been seen on television of Mrs Mills since her heyday. She was seen in person on two episodes of The Morecambe and Wise Show in 1971 and 1974, where she performed a medley of favourites with the studio orchestra; another rare example of Mrs Mills' style of performance came in an edition of the BBC TV's The Two Ronnies. The sketch (Family Entertainment - John & Mrs Mills) occupied the end-of-the-show musical slot, with Ronnie Barker as the silk-laden Mrs Mills at piano, and Ronnie Corbett as a uniformed Sir John Mills (who was no relation). They performed a medley of Mills-style classics (on the theme of Mills' character in the 1969 film Oh! What A Lovely War). (NB: The show (series 4; episode 4) was originally broadcast on BBC Two on 23 January 1975.
Mrs Mills is frequently heard on Australian radio station 8CCC-FM's long running Sunday programme 'Get Out Those Old Records', where the host, Rufl, can be often heard to label Mrs Mills as "the greatest piano player in the world".
Mrs Mills died in February 1978.

Mrs. Mills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing in the world that I wont do
I'll give the world to you if you want me to
I'll do anything
Ah nothing in the world that I wont do
I'll give the world to you if you want me to
I'll do anything
I'll do anything for you
I'll give the world to you
If you want me to
I'll do anything for you
I'll give the world to you
If you want me to
They think I'm a fool
'Cause I do so many things (for you)
But they don't know the reason
Why I do all the things I do (for you)
Maybe they'll never see, the things you do for me
The way you make me strong,
Whenever things go wrong
When you stand by my side,
How you relax my mind
And show me what to do
To make my dreams come true.
(I'll do anything)
Anything you want me to
(I'll do anything)
There's nothing in this world that I wont do
(for you)
I'll do anything for you,
Anything you want me to
I'll give the world to you
If you want me to
I'll do anything for you (Yes I will)
I'll give the world to you
If you want me to
I hope very soon,
You'll see all the love I have (for you)
I've been holding some inside,
'Cause I thought it was too much (for you)
Whatever happens I, I will no longer hide,
Because I trust in you
Stay right by my side,
'Cause you relax my mind,
And show me what to do,
You make my dreams come true
(I'll do anything, I'll do anything)
There's nothing in this world that I won't do (for you)
I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me to
I'll give the world to you
If you want me to (Yes I will)
I'll do anything for you
I'll give the world to you
If you want me to
I'll do (I'll do anything)
I'll do (I'll do anything)
I'll do do do do do do do do
