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

Henry:
It was nothing 
Really nothing

Pickering:
All alone you hurdled
Ev'ry obstacle in sight

Henry:
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

Henry:
Shortly after we came in
I saw at once we'd easily win
And after that I found it deadly dull

Pickering:
You should have heard the ooh's and ah's
Ev'ry one wondering who she was

Henry:
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!

Henry:
Thank Heavens for Zoltan Karparthy
If it weren't for him I would have died of boredom
He was there, all right 
And up to his old tricks

Mrs. Pearce:
Karparthy? That dreadful Hungarian? Was he there?

Henry:
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 to eager
And a smile too broad
He announced to the hostess
That she was a fraud!

Mrs. Pearce:
No!

Henry:
Jawohl!
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!

Servants:
Congratulations, Professor Higgins
For your glorious victory!
Congratulations, Professor Higgins!
You'll be mentioned in history!

Rest of Servants (Simultaneously):
Congratulations
Professor Higgins!
For your glorious
Victory!
Congratulations
Professor Higgins!
Sing hail and hallelujah!
Ev'ry bit of credit
For it all belongs to you!

Footman (Simultaneously with Rest of Servants):
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!
