Just you wait, ’Enry ’Iggins, just you wait
You'll be sorry but your tears will be too 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 theater
Oh oh oh, ’Enry ’Iggins, just you wait
 
Ooh, ’Enry ’Iggins
Just you wait until we're swimming in the sea
Ooh, ’Enry ’Iggins
And you get a cramp a little way from me
When you yell you're going to drown
I'll get dressed and go to town
Oh oh oh, ’Enry ’Iggins, oh oh oh, ’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 20th 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‘ head”
“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 raise their rifles higher
I'll shout ready, aim, fire
Ho ho ho, ’Enry ’Iggins
Down you'll go, ’Enry ’Iggins
Just you wait!
