You Did It

Lyrics
Tonight, old man, you did it, you did it, you did it You said that you would do it, and indeed you did We thought that you would rue it, you doubted you'd do it But now we 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 Everyone 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, you did it Thank heavens for Zoltan Karparthy. If it weren't for him I'd have died of boredom. He was there, all right and up to his old tricks Karparthy? That dreadful Hungarian? Was he there? Yes That blaggard 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 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 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 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
