You Did It Lyrics by Rex Harrison, Robert Coote, Phillippa Bevans

My Fair Lady (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1956

[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)
