Hoxton accent? My Fair Lady.

Working on programme for musical tonight.
With scribus. Nice except tables (and paste from clipboard must mess with versions on ubuntu jaunty).

When is my Fair Lady set and what would a Hoxton accent have sounded like in those days?

Eliza - I'm a good girl, I am!
Higgin - Yes, dear. Yes.
Hoxton man - Where do I come from?
Higgins - Hoxton.
Hoxton man - Well, who said I didn't?
? - Blimey, you know everything, you do.

Ascot Gavotte
Ev'ry duke and earl and peer is here
Ev'ryone who should be here is here.
What a smashing, positively dashing
Spectacle: the Ascot op'ning day.

At the gate are all the horses
Waiting for the cue to fly away.
What a gripping, absolutely ripping
Moment at the Ascot op'ning day.

Pulses rushing! Faces flushing!
Heartbeats speed up! I have never been so keyed up!
Any second now They'll begin to run. Hark!
A bell is ringing, They are springing Forward Look!
It has begun...! . . . . . .

What a frenzied moment that was!
Didn't they maintain an exhausting pace?
'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling Running of the
Ascot op'ning race.

With a Little Bit of Luck
A man was made to help support his children
Which is the right and proper thing to do
A man was made to help support his children
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
They'll go out and start supporting you
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck they'll work for you)

(He doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket)
(The poorest bloke you'll ever hope to meet)
(He doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket)
(But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck)
(He'll be movin' up to Easy Street)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck he's movin' up)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)

I'm getting married in the morning
Doolittle and Everyone:
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.
Doolittle: Drug me or jail me, Stamp me and mail me.
All: But get me to the church on time!
I gotta be there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in me prime.
Doolittle: Some bloke who's able Lift up the table,
All: And get me to the church on time!
Doolittle: If I am flying Then shoot me down. (Then shoot me down)
If I am wooin', Get her out of town!
All: For I'm getting married in the morning!
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.
Doolittle: Feather and tar me;
Call out the Army; But get me to the church.
All: Get me to the church...
Doolittle: For Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time!

~ ~ ~ ~ The crowd “pulls out the stopper” and dances a wild street dance. ~ ~ ~ ~

Harry and Everyone: Starlight is reelin' home to bed now.
Mornin' is smearin' up the sky. London is wakin'.
Daylight is breakin'. Good luck, old chum,
Good health, goodbye.
Doolittle: I'm gettin' married in the mornin'
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime...
Hail and salute me Then haul off and boot me...
And get me to the church, Get me to the church...
For Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time!


Wouldn't It Be Loverly?

It's rather dull in town, I think I'll take me to Paree.
Mmmmmm.
The mistress wants to open up
The castle in Capri.
Me doctor recommends a quiet summer by the sea!
Mmmm, Mmmm, wouldn't it be loverly?

Eliza All I want is a room somewhere,
Far away from the cold night air.
With one enormous chair,
Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?
Lots of choc'lates for me to eat,
Lots of coal makin' lots of 'eat.
Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet,
Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?
Aow, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still.
I would never budge 'till spring
Crept over me windowsill.
Someone's 'ead restin' on my knee,
Warm an' tender as 'e can be. 'ho takes good care of me,
Aow, wouldn't it be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly

With a Little Bit of Luck
music by Frederick Loewe; lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
 ALFIE:
The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
So he could do his job and never shirk.
The Lord gave man an arm of iron, but
With a little bit o' luck,
With a little bit o' luck,
Someone else'll do the blinkin' work!

ALFIE, JAMIE AND HARRY:
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' luck you'll never work!

ALFIE:
The Lord above made liquor for temptation,
To see if man could turn away from sin.
The Lord above made liquor for temptation, but
With a little bit o' luck,
With a little bit o' luck,
When temptation comes you'll give right in!

ALFIE, JAMIE AND HARRY:
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' luck you'll give right in.

ALFIE:
Oh, you can walk the straight and narrow;
But with a little bit o' luck,
You'll run amuck!
The gentle sex was made for man to marry,
To share his nest and see 'is food is cooked.
The gentle sex was made for man to marry, but
With a little bit o' luck,
With a little bit o' luck,
You can have it all and not get hooked.

ALFIE, JAMIE AND HARRY:
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' luck you won't get hooked.
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' bloomin' luck!

ALFIE:
They're always throwin' goodness at you;
But with a little bit o' luck,
A man can duck!
ALFIE:
The Lord above made man to 'elp is neighbor,
No matter where, on land, or sea, or foam.
The Lord above made man to 'elp his neighbor, but
With a little bit o' luck,
With a little bit o' luck,
When he comes around you won't be 'ome!

JAMIE AND HARRY:
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' luck,
You won't be 'ome.
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' bloomin' luck!
[dialog]
ALFIE:
A man was made to 'elp support his children,
Which is the right and proper thing to do.
A man was made to 'elp support his children, but
With a little bit o' luck,
With a little bit o' luck,
They'll go out and start supportin' you!
ALFIE, JAMIE AND HARRY:
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' luck they'll work for you!
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' bloomin' luck!
ALFIE:
Oh, it's a crime for man to go philanderin'
And fill his wife's poor 'eart with grief and doubt.
Oh, it's a crime for man to go philanderin', but
With a little bit o' luck,
With a little bit o' luck,
You can see the bloodhound don't find out!

ALFIE, JAMIE AND HARRY:
With a little bit... with a little bit...
With a little bit o' luck she won't find out!
With a little bit... with a little bit...
ALFIE:
With a little bit o' bloomin' luck!

[My Fair Lady]

The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
So he could do his job and never shirk
The Lord above gave man an arm of iron - but
With a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
Someone else'll do the blinkin' work
With a little bit, with a little bit
With a little bit of luck you'll never work

/ C G C - / / F - - E7 / F - G C /

The Lord above made liquor for temptation
To see if man could turn away from sin
The Lord above made liquor for temptation - but
With... / When temptation comes you'll give right in
With... you'll give right in

Oh, you can walk the straight and narrow
But with a little bit of luck you'll run amok

/ F - C - / D - G - /

The gentle sex was made for man to marry
To share his nest and see his food is cooked
The gentle sex was made for man to marry-but
With... / You can have it all and not get hooked
With... you won't get hooked
With a little bit, with a little bit
With a little bit of bloomin' luck

The Lord above made man to help is neighbor
No matter where, on land, or sea, or foam
The Lord above made man to help his neighbor - but
With... / When he comes around you won't be home
With... you won't be home

They're always throwin' goodness at you
But with a little bit of luck a man can duck

Oh, it's a crime for man to go philanderin'
And fill his wife's poor heart with grief and doubt
Oh, it's a crime for man to go philanderin', but

With a little bit, with a little bit
With a little bit of bloomin' luck

The poorest bloke you'll ever hope to meet

Jamie, Harry, Friends:
There's just a few more hours.
That's all the time you've got. A few more hours
Before they tie the knot. Doolittle
There are drinks and girls all over London,
and I've gotta track 'em down in just a few more hours!

I'm getting married in the morning! Ding dong!
The bells are gonna chime. Pull out the stopper!
Let's have a whopper! But get me to the church on time!
I gotta be there in the mornin'
Spruced up and lookin' in me prime.
Girls, come and kiss me;
Show how you'll miss me.
But get me to the church on time!

If I am dancin' Roll up the floor.
If I am whistlin' Whewt me out the door!
For I'm gettin' married in the mornin'
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.
Kick up an rumpus But don't lost the compass;
And get me to the church, Get me to the church,
For Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time!

Doolittle and Everyone:
I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.
Doolittle: Drug me or jail me, Stamp me and mail me.
All: But get me to the church on time!
I gotta be there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in me prime.
