Lyrics
What a fool I was, what a dominated fool To think you were the earth and sky What a fool I was, what an addle-pated fool What a muddle-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 hear 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 talk 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
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---
BYYYY GEORGE I really did it I did it, I did it I said I'd 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

Now, it’s entirely possible that Lerner and Loewe were themselves misogynistic jerks, and these songs were meant as appreciative bro-anthems. Maybe if they had been alive today, the music videos would have featured naked models on leashes. But more likely, they wrote these songs to humiliate Henry Higgins, to show the audience that he’s a jerk and they know it. http://time.com/3525216/my-fair-lady-1964/
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
