What a fool I was!
What a dominated fool
To think you were the Earth and sky
What a fool I was
What an addlepated fool
What a mutton-headed dolt was I
No, my reverberating friend
You are not the beginning and the end
There'll be spring every year without you
England still will be here without you
There'll be fruit on the tree
And the shore by the sea
There'll be crumpets and tea without you!
Art and music will thrive without you
Somehow Keats will survive without you
And there still will be rain on that plain down in Spain
Even that will remain without you!
I can do without you
You, dear friend, who talks so well
You can go to Hartford, Heresford and Hampshire
They can still rule the land without you
Windsor Castle will stand without you
And without much ado
We can all muddle through without you
Without your pulling it, the tide comes in
Without your twirling it, the Earth can spin
Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by
If they can do without you, ducky, so can I
I will not feel alone without you
I can stand on my own without you
So, go back in your shell
I can do bloody well without-
By George, I really did it
I did it, I did it
I said I'd make a woman
And indeed I did
I knew that I could do it
I knew it, I knew it
I said I'd make a woman
And succeed I did
Eliza, you're magnificent
Goodbye, Professor Higgins
What you ought to do without me
I cannot imagine
