Lyrics

[PICKERING] 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 Every 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 еasily win And after that I found it deadly dull [PICKERING] You should have hеard the ooh's and ah's Everyone wondering who she was [HIGGINS] You'd think they'd never seen a lady before [PCIKERING] 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, spoken] Thank heavens for Zoltan Karparthy If he hadn't been there I'd have died of boredom Yes, he was there, all right And up to his old tricks [MRS. PEARCE, spoken] Karparthy? That dreadful Hungarian? Was he there? [HIGGINS, spoken] Yes [HIGGINS] 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 Every time we looked around There he was, that hairy hound From Budapest Never leaving us alone Never have I ever known A ruder pest Finally 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 every pore He oiled his way around the floor Every 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 [MRS. PEARCE, spoken] No [HIGGINS] Jawohl "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't And although she may have studied with an expert Dialectician 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 [PICKERING & ONE SERVANT, OTHER SERVANTS] 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) But you did it and the credit(Hallelujah) For it all (Every bit of credit) Belongs to you (For it all belongs to you)
