Just You Wait
Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins,
just you wait!
You'll be sorry, but your tears'll
be to 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 the-ater!
Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins, just
you wait!
Ooooooh 'enry 'iggins!
Just you wait until we're swimmin'
in the sea!
Ooooooh 'enry 'iggins!
And you get a cramp a little
ways from me!
When you yell you're going to
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 St. James so often I will
call it St. 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 lift their rifles higher,
I'll shout: "Ready! Aim! Fire!"
Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins,
Down you'll go, 'enry 'iggins!
Just you wait!
