Without You

What a fool I was, what a dominated fool
To think that you were the Earth and sky
What a fool I was, what an elevated fool
What a mutton-headed dote was I.

No, my reverberating friend
You are not the beginning and the end.

You impudent hussy! Is there an idea in your head or a word in your mouth that I haven't put there?

There'll be spring every year without you
England still will be here without you
There'll be fruit on the tree
And a 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 taught so well
You can go to Hartford, Hereford 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.

You brazen hussy!

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 shall 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 you.

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
Five minutes ago, you're a millstone around my neck
And now you're a tar of strength
A consort battleship
I like you this way.

Goodbye Professor Higgins, you shall not be seeing me again..
