Higgins it was an
Immense achiev'ment
A silly notion
If I hadn't backed
Myself to do it
I should have
Chucked
The whole thing
Two months ago
Absolutely fantastic
A lot of tomfoolery
Higgins
I salute you
Nonsense
The silly people
Don't know their
Own silly business
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
It was nothing
Really nothing
All alone
You hurdled ev'ry
Obstacle in sight
Now wait
Now wait
Give credit
Where it's due
A lot of the glory
Goes to you
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
Shortly after
We came in
I saw at once
We'd eas'ly win
And after that
I found it
Deadly dull
You should have
Heard the ooh's
And aah's
Ev'ryone wond'ring
Who she was
You'd think
They'd never seen
A lady before
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
He was ecstatic
And so damn'd
Aristocratic
And they never
Knew that
You did it
Thank heavens for
Zoltan Karpathy
If it weren't for him
I'd would have
Died of boredom
He was there alright
And up to
His old tricks
Karpathy that
Dreadful Hungarian
Was he there
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 as 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
No
Yavo
"Her English
Is too good "
He said
'Which 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
Di'lectician
And grammarian
I can tell that
She was born
Hungarian "
Not only Hungarian
But of royal blood
She is a Princess
