Just You Wait
Cyril Ornadel; Julie Andrews; Rex Harrison; Robert Coote; Stanley Holloway Lyrics

Just you wait, 'Enry 'Iggins, just you wait
I'll make you regret, 'Enry 'Iggins, just wait and see

You'll be sorry but your tears'll be too late
You'll regret your actions, and there won't be anything you can do about it

You'll be broke, and I'll have money
You'll be destitute, while I'll be wealthy

Will I help you? Don't be funny
I won't lift a finger to assist you, so don't bother asking

Just you wait
Just wait and watch as I enact my revenge

'Enry 'Iggins, 'til you're sick
'Enry 'Iggins, until you're ill from worry

And you scream to fetch a doctor double quick
And you call for a doctor in a panic

I'll be off a second later and go straight to the theatre
I'll abandon you without a second thought and head to the theater

Ah, ho-ho, 'Enry 'Iggins, just you wait
I'm going to relish watching you suffer, 'Enry 'Iggins

Just you wait until we're swimmin' in the sea
Wait until we're in the water together

And you get a cramp a little ways from me
And you start to cramp up while swimming near me

When you yell you're going to drown
When you shout that you're drowning

I'll get dressed and go to town
I'll leave you behind and head into town

Ah, ho-ho, 'Enry 'Iggins
I'll find your misfortune amusing, 'Enry 'Iggins

One day I'll be famous, I'll be proper and prim
Someday I'll be renowned, refined, and elegant

Go to St. James so often I will call it St. Jim
I'll frequent St. James so frequently that I'll call it St. Jim

One evening the King will say, "Oh, Liza, old thing
One evening the King will say, "Oh, Liza, my dear

I want all of England your praises to sing"
I want the entire country to praise and celebrate you

Next week on the twentieth of May
On the 20th of May next week

I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day
I declare that day to be Liza Doolittle Day

All the people will celebrate the glory of you
Everyone will celebrate your greatness

And whatever you wish and want, I gladly will do
I'll be happy to fulfill any request you have

"Thanks a lot, King" says I, in a manner well bred
"Thank you very much, Your Highness," I say politely

"But all I want is'Enry 'Iggins 'ead"
"But what I really want is 'Enry 'Iggins' head"

"Done," says the King with a stroke
"It's done," says the King with finality

Guard, run and bring in the bloke
Guard, go fetch that guy

Then they'll march you, 'Enry 'Iggins to the wall
Then they'll take you, 'Enry 'Iggins, to the wall

And the King will tell me, "Liza, sound the call"
The King will tell me to give the signal

As they raise their rifles higher, I'll shout
As they raise their guns and aim even higher, I'll yell

"Ready, aim, fire"
"Ready, aim, fire"

Down you'll go, 'Enry 'Iggins
You'll finally meet your downfall, 'Enry 'Iggins

Just you wait
Just you wait and see what happens
