My Fair Lady, Act I Scene 5: Just You Wait
演唱：sinfonia of london、The John Wilson Orchestra、Scarlett Strallen、Jamie Parker"Eliza (sings)
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 the-a-tre!
Oh, ho, ho, ’enry ’iggins, just you wait!
(claws the air as if it was Higgins)
Oooooooh, ’enry ’iggins!
Just you wait until we’re swimmin’ in the sea!
Oooooooh, ’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!
(facing front)
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!
(bowing to the right)
All the people will celebrate the glory of you,
And whatever you wish and want I gladly will do.’
(sits on sofa)
‘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!’
(stares at floor in front of her)
Oh, ho, ho, ’enry ’iggins!
Down you’ll go!
(screams)
’enry ’iggins!
Just you wait!
Blackout
Eliza (with a sigh first) (spoken)
The rine in spine sties minely in the pline.
Higgins (spoken)
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.
(puts metronome down, picks up an alcohol burner from table)
Eliza
Didn’t I sy that?
Higgins
No, Eliza, you didn’t sy that. You didn’t even say that.
(He brings the burner down and crosses to Eliza.)
Every night before you get into bed, where you used to say your prayers, I want you to repeat: The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain, fifty times. You will get much further with the Lord if you learn not to offend His ears. Now for your ‘H’s’. Pickering, this is going to be ghastly!
(He crosses to desk and sits, Eliza rises and crosses to him. He lights the burner with match.
He rises and gives Eliza his seat in front of the burner.)
Now repeat after me: In Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen.
Eliza (echoing the last quick tempo that Higgins used)
In ’artford, ’ereford and ’ampshire, ’urricanes ’ardly hever ’appen!
Higgins
No, no, no, no! No idea at all, you know!
Eliza
Should I do it over?
Higgins
No. Please, no! We must start from the very beginning.
(He kneels.)
Do this – ha – ha – ha – ha.
(He rises.)
Eliza (each ‘ha’ more tortured than the last)
Ha – ha – ha – ha...
Higgins (spoken)
Well, go on! Go on!
(Eliza does one last ‘ha’ and blows the fire out. She looks shocked.)"
