|
You did itPickering:
|
Tonight, old man, you did it!
|
You did it! You did it!
|
You said that you would do it,
|
And indeed you did.
|
I thought that you would rue it;
|
I doubted you'd do it.
|
But now I must admit it
|
That succeed you did.
|
You should get a medal
|
Or be even made a knight.
|
Higgins:
|
It was nothing. Really nothing.
|
Pickering: All alone you hurdled
|
Ev'ry obstacle in sight.
|
Higgins:
|
Now, wait! Now, wait!
|
Give credit where it's due.
|
A lot of the glory goes to you.
|
Pickering: But you're the one who did it,
|
Who did it, who did it!
|
As sturdy as Gibraltar,
|
Not a second did you falter.
|
There's no doubt about it,
|
You did it!
|
I must have aged a year tonight.
|
At times I thought I'd die of fright.
|
Never was there a momentary lull.
|
|
Higgins:
|
Shortly after we came in
|
I saw at once we'd eas'ly win;
|
And after that I found it deadly dull.
|
Pickering: You should have heard the ooh's and ah's;
|
Ev'ry one wond'ring who she was
|
Higgins:
|
You'd think they'd never seen a lady before.
|
Pickering: And when the Prince of Transylvania
|
Asked to meet her,
|
And gave his arm to lead her to the floor. . .!
|
I said to him: You did it!
|
You did it! You did it!
|
They thought she was ecstatic
|
And so damned aristocratic,
|
And they never knew
|
That you
|
Did it!
|
Higgins:
|
Thank Heavens for Zoltan Karparthy. If he hadn't been there I'd have died of boredom. Yes, he was there, all right, up to his old tricks.
|
Servant:
|
Karparthy? That dreadful Hungarian? Was he there?
|
Higgins:
|
Yes, that blackguard who uses the science of speech
|
More to blackmail and swindle than teach;
|
He made it the devilish business of his
|
"To find out who this Miss Doolittle is."
|
Ev'ry time we looked around
|
There he was, that hairy hound
|
From Budapest.
|
Never leaving us alone,
|
Never have I ever known
|
A ruder pest.
|
Fin'lly I decided it was foolish
|
Not to let him have his chance with her.
|
So I stepped aside and let him dance with her.
|
|
Oozing charm from ev'ry pore,
|
He oiled his way around the floor.
|
Ev'ry trick that he could play,
|
He used to strip her mask away.
|
|
And when at last the dance was done
|
He glowed as if he knew he'd won!
|
And with a voice too eager,
|
And a smile too broad,
|
He announced to the hostess
|
That she was a fraud!
|
|
Servant: No!
|
Higgins:
|
Yavol!
|
Her English is too good, he said,
|
That clearly indicates that she is foreign.
|
Whereas others are instructed in their native language
|
English people aren.
|
And although she may have studied with an expert
|
Di'lectician and grammarian,
|
I can tell that she was born Hungarian!
|
|
Not only Hungarian, but of royal blood, she is a princess!
|
|
Servants:
|
Congratulations, Professor Higgins,
|
For your glorious victory!
|
Congratulations, Professor Higgins!
|
You'll be mentioned in history!
|
This evening, sir, you did it!
|
Congratulations,
|
You did it! You did it!
|
Professor Higgins!
|
You said that you would do it!
|
For your glorious
|
And indeed you did.
|
Victory!
|
|
This evening, sir, you did it!
|
Congratulations,
|
You did it! You did it!
|
Professor Higgins!
|
We know that we have said it,
|
Sing a hail and halleluia
|
But - you did it and the credit
|
Ev'ry bit of credit
|
For it all belongs to you!
|
|
