All the people will celebrate the glory that is Eliza Doolittle!

(line from the musical)!
My thoughts and prayers are with her family tonightohwaitwrongthread.
I think 'ole Higgins has got his just desserts.
At first I thought, why? And then the lyric came to me!
Great post!
Took me more than a moment...
Well played!
That one is just stills and audio. This one has video.

Did the song actually list today as the day in the lyrics?
For MTVMANN:
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."
If you had clicked on the link above, you would have heard the lyrics.

I would like to celebrate by having some people beheaded.
This may take awhile, as my list is somewhat lengthy.
You left out the punch line!
"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 shout
The guards are bringing the bloke out
Then they'll march 'Enry 'Iggins to the wall
And the king will tell me, Eliza sound the call
As they raise their rifles 'igher
I'll scream "Ready, aim, fire!"
Ho ho ho, 'Engry 'Iggins
Down you'll go, 'Engry 'Iggins!
Just you wait!
(Pretty sure those are the lyrics...it's been a while since I've either listened to the recording or worked on the show).
Anyway, nice post Weez.

Actually, it's:
"Done," says the King with a stroke.
"Guard, run and bring in the bloke!"
Thanks.

Wishing all the gals who've ever played Eliza Doolittle a happy day! (Oh, how I wish I'd seen Carol Channing's take on the role 'way back when!)

She must be celebrating today.
