Happy Eliza Doolittle Day!!!

Troy and I are musical loving geeks.  We usually celebrate Eliza Doolittle day by sending each other violets and chocolates.  I'll have to  stop by the florist on my lunch break and get some flowers for Troy and Luci.  Maybe I'll be able to find some sugar free chocolates!  Anyway, the day comes from My Fair Lady in the song "Just You Wait".  Here are the lyrics: Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait! You'll be sorry, but your tears'll be to late! You'll be broke, and I'll have money; Will I help you? Don't be funny! Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait! Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, till you're sick, And you scream to fetch a doctor double-quick. I'll be off a second later And go straight to the the-ater! Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait! Ooooooh 'enry 'iggins! Just you wait until we're swimmin' in the sea! Ooooooh 'enry 'iggins! And you get a cramp a little ways from me! When you yell you're going to drown I'll get dressed and go to town! Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins! Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins! Just you wait! 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." "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 stroke. "Guard, run and bring in the bloke!" Then they'll march you, 'enry 'iggins to the wall; And the King will tell me: "Liza, sound the call." As they lift their rifles higher, I'll shout: "Ready! Aim! Fire!" Oh ho ho, 'enry 'iggins, Down you'll go, 'enry 'iggins! Just you wait! And just think, Sherri was born on Eliza Doolittle Day!  You lucky thing you. Hope you all enjoy some loverly chocolates! Smooches, Jacqui

Jacqui, let me one of the 'ld gang to wish you a Happy Eliza Doolittle Day too. Hope that it is as wonderful as Eliza would have felt when 'ol 'enry 'iggins is dead!  Love and hugs to you.........

That is too funny. I was just singing that song a little while ago to my kids. I have no idea why it popped into my head and then I came on here and read this post! :)
