Tonight, oh 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, we 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
We said to him, you did it, you did it, you did it
They thought she was ecstatic, and so damn aristocratic
And they never knew that you did it
Thank heaven for Zoltan Karpati
If it weren't for him, I would've died of boredom
He was there all right and up to his old tricks
Karpati, 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!
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 dialectician and grammarian
I can tell that she was born Hungarian
Not only Hungarian but of royal blood
She is a princess
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
