My Fair Lady, Act I Scene 2: Come On, Eliza, Slip Your Old Dad Half a Crown to Go Home On

Lyrics: Alan Jay Lerner Music: Frederick Loewe "Doolittle (spoken) Come on, Eliza, slip your old Dad half a crown to go home on. Eliza (takes coin out of basket, flips it in air, catches it) (spoken) Well, I had a bit of luck myself tonight. So here. (gives him coin, crosses to house) Harry (calls into pub from across stage as Doolittle grins happily) (spoken) George! Three glorious beers! Eliza (from door) But don’t keep comin’ around countin’ on half crowns from me! (She exits as Alfie calls to her.) Doolittle (spoken) Goodnight, Eliza! You’re a noble daughter! (He crosses to Harry and Jamie.) You see, boys, I told you not to go home! It’s just Faith, Hope and a little bit of Luck!"
