JUST YOU WAIT (Alan
Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe) ("My Fair Lady")
Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just
you wait! You'll be sorry but your tears'll be too late!
You'll be broke and I'll have money. Will I help you? Don't be funny!
Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait! Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, till
you're sick,
And you scream to fetch a doctor double quick! I'll be off a second later
and go straight to the theatre.
Oh, ho, ho, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait! Oooh, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait
until we're swimming in the sea!
Oooh, 'enry 'iggins, and you get a cramp a little ways from me!
When you yell you're gonna drown, I'll get dressed and go to town!
Oh, ho, ho, 'enry 'iggins, oh, ho, ho, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
One day I'll be famous! I'll be proper and prim! Go to Saint James so
often I will call it Saint Jim!
One evening the King will say, "Oh Liza, old thing, I want all of England your
praises to sing,
Next week on the twentieth of May, I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day!
All the people will celebrate the glory of you and whatever you wish and want
I gladly will do."
"Thanks a lot, King," says I in a manner well-bred, "but all I want is 'enry
'iggins 'ead!"
"Done!" says the King, "with a stroke. Guard, run and bring in the bloke!"
Then they'll march you, 'enry 'iggins, to the wall and the King will tell me,
"Liza, sound the call."
As they raise their rifles higher, I'll shout, "Ready! Aim! Fire!"
Oh, ho, ho, 'enry 'iggins, down you'll go, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
