Yep, it's all from "My Fair Lady" (based on Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw).
I was just making a joke about how dancing all night would be dangerous, and probably even fatal, if actually attempted.But my favourite song from that show is this one:
And then there's the English spoken here in Australia, which is another kettle of kangaroos. I went to stay at a hotel in the Outback once - early morning, the manageress flung open the curtains, put down a mug of hot tea by my bedside, and said "Here y'are, cobber! And if ya don' like sugah, don' stirrit!"
It would. And I wrote a parody of that song for people who hate housework. I called it "Wouldn't it be slovenly?"
