My Fair Oliver
So, this quiz is entitled "My Fair Oliver" for a reason. Below are lyrics extracted from several songs from either Oliver or My Fair Lady. Your job is to work out which is which. But be warned: There are a few wild cards in there. These songs are from neither of the above musicals. Obviously, you must identify the musical they are from. (This is to stop people who know all the songs from one but not the other from simply using logic to get all the answers right!)
As ever, please don't use any on-line resources to find the answers.

One common language I'm afraid we'll never get, Oh why can't the English learn to set a good example to those other folks who's English is painful to the ears. The Scots and the Irish leave you close to tears. (In America they haven't used it for years).
10) I'm Reviewing, The Situation. Can a fellow be a villan all his life? All the trials and tribulations, Better settle down and get myself a wife.

Where is love?

I only know when he Began to dance with me I could have danced, danced, danced all night!
