Alan Jay Lerner (31 August 1918 – 14 June 1986) was an American lyricist and librettist who won three Tony Awards and three Academy Awards.
I’m A Good Girl, I Am…
Henry Higgins meets a lass,
And on a bet he tries to turn her
Into someone upper class,
While singing songs by Loewe and Lerner.
His kindly colleague Colonel Pickering
Has some scruples which concern her,
He and Higgins do some bickering,
Still to songs by Loewe and Lerner.
Eliza, for a time is stressed,
Thinking that the case will burn her,
But she triumphs (as you’ve guessed)…
With the help of Loewe and Lerner.
