Tonight old man you did it
You did it
You did it
You said that you'd do it
And indeed you did
I thought that you'd rue it
I doubted you'd do it
But now I must admit
That succeed you did
You should get a medal
Or be even made a knight
Oh it was nothing really nothing
All alone you hurdled every obstacle in sight
Now wait now wait
Give credit where it's due
A lot of the glory goes to you
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've aged a year tonight
At times I thought I'd die of fright
Never was there a momentary lull
Shortly after we came in
I saw at once we'd easily win
And after that I found it deadly dull
You should've heard the oohs and aahs
Everyone wondering who she was
You'd think they had never seen a lady before
And when the prince of transylvania
Asked to meet her
And gave his arm to lead her to the floor
I said to him
You did it
You did it
You did it
They thought she was ecstatic
And so damned aristocratic
And they never knew that
You
Did it
Thank goodness for zoltan carpathy
If it hadn't been for him I would've died of boredom
Carpathy that dreadful hungarian
Was he there
Yes he was there all right and up to his old tricks
That blaggard who uses the science of speech
More to blackmail and swindle
Than teach
He made it the devilish business of his
To find out
Who this miss do little is
Every time we looked around
There he was
That hairy hound from budapest
Never leaving us alone
Never have I ever known
A ruder pest
Finally I decided it was foolish
Not to let him have his chance with her
So
I stepped aside
And let him dance with her
Oozing charm from every pore
He oiled his way around the floor
Every trick that he could play
He used to strip her mask away
And when at last the dance was done
He glowed as if he knew he'd won
And with a voice too eager
And a smile too broad
He announced to the hostess that she was
A fraud
No
Jawohl
Her english is too good he said
That clearly indiates that she is foreign
For as others are instructed in their native language
English people aren't
And although she may have studied
With an expert dialectician and grammarian
I can tell that
She was born
Hungarian
Not only hungarian but of royal blood
She is a princess
Her blood he said is bluer than
The danube is or ever was
Royalty is absolutely written on her face
She thought that I was taken in
But actually I never was
How could she deceive
Another member of her race
I know each
Language on the map said he
And she's hungarian
As the first
Hungarian rhapsody
Bravo
Bravo
Bravo
