My Fair Lady: You Did It

You Did It - Robert Coote/Rex Harrison/Betty Woolfe/Original London Cast of My Fair Lady Ensemble/Franz Allers

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

Every 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 easily win

And after that I found it deadly dull

You should have heard the ooh's and ah's

Every one wondering 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 she was ecstatic

And so damned aristocratic

And they never knew

That you did it

Thank heavens for Zoltan Karparthy

If it hadn't been for him

I would have died of boredom

Yes he was there all right

And up to his old tricks

Karparthy

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

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

No

Ja vol

Her English is too good he said

That clearly indicates that she is foreign

Where as others are instructed in their native language

English people aren't

And although she may have studied with an expert

Dilectician and grammarian

I can tell that she was born Hungarian

Not only Hungarian but of royal blood

She is a princess

Congratulations

Professor Higgins for your glorious victory

Congratulations professor Higgins

You'll be mentioned in history

This evening sir

You did it you did it you did it

You said that

You would do it and indeed you did

This evening sir

You did it you did it you did it

We know that we have said it

But you did it and the credit

For it all belongs to you
