thehefner | I... I Did It...!

I actually did it. Son of a bitch, I actually fucking did it. Just when I was beginning to finally give up hope, it only hit me today that I actually seriously fucking did it. They said I was a fool for trying. They said it wouldn't be worth it. They tried to push me onto other things. But I stuck with it, because I knew, I knew. And son of a bitch, I motherfucking did it!!!

Pickering
Tonight, old man, you did it!
You did it! You did it!
You said that you would do it,
And indeed you did.
I thought that you would rue it;
I doubted you'd do it.
But now I must admit it
That succeed you did.
You should get a medal
Or be even made a knight.

Henry
It was nothing. Really nothing.

Pickering
All alone you hurdled
Ev'ry obstacle in sight.

Henry
Now, wait! Now, wait!
Give credit where it's due,
A lot of the glory goes to you.

Pickering
But you're the one who did it,
Who did it, who did it!
As sturdy as Gibraltar,
Not a second did you falter.
There's no doubt about it,
You did it!
I must have aged a year tonight.
At times I thought I'd die of fright.
Never was there a momentary lull

Henry
Shortly after we came in
I saw at once we'd easily win;
And after that I found it deadly dull.

Pickering
You should have heard the ooh's and ah's;
Ev'ry one wondering who she was.

Henry
You'd think they'd never seen a lady before!

Servants
Congratulations, Professor Higgins,
For your glorious victory!
Congratulations, Professor Higgins!
You'll be mentioned in history!

Rest of Servants (Simultaneously)
Congratulations,
Professor Higgins!
For your glorious
Victory!
Congratulations,
Professor Higgins!
Sing hail and hallelujah!
Ev'ry bit of credit
For it all belongs to you!

Footman (Simultaneously with Rest of Servants)
This evening, sir, you did it!
You did it! You did it!
You said that you would do it
And indeed you did.
This evening, sir, you did it!
You did it! You did it!
We know that we have said it,
But-you did it and the credit
For it all belongs to you!

Shit. I just realized. Without VIGIL and angst, what am I going to do with my life? Ah well, I'll have Cherry Orchard, MacBeth, and plenty more plays and women to worry about soon enough, I'm sure.
