Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs,
Ladies and Gentlemen: it is almost midnight!
Husbands - you have only ten seconds in which to lose your wives!
Five - four- three - two - one!
Happy New Year!
SALLY:
You have to understand the way I am, mein herr
A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, mein herr
You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, mein herr
So I do...what I do...
When I'm through...then I'm through...
And I'm through...toodle-oo!
Bye-bye, mein lieber herr
Farewell, mein lieber herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care
I need the open air
You're better off without me, mein herr
Don't dab your eye, mein herr
Or wonder why, mein herr
I've always said that I was a rover
You mustn't knit your brow
You should have known by now
You'd every cause to doubt me, mein herr
The continent of Europe is so wide, mein herr
Not only up and down, but side to side, mein herr
I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, mein herr
So I do...what I can...
Inch by inch...step by step...
Mile by mile...man by man
Bye-bye, mein lieber herr
Farewell, mein lieber herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care
I need the open air
You're better off without me, mein herr
SALLY AND THE GIRLS:
Don't dab your eye, mein herr
Or wonder why, mein herr
I've always said that I was a rover
You mustn't knit your brow
You should have known by now
You'd every cause to doubt me, mein herr
Bye-bye mein lieber herr,
Auf wiedersehen, mein herr
Es war sehr gut, mein herr und vorbei
Du kennst mich wohl, mein herr
Ach, lebe wohl, mein herr
Du sollst mich nicht mehr sehen, mein herr
SALLY:
Bye, bye, mein lieber
herr...

Du kennst mich wohl
mein herr...
And bye-bye
GIRLS:
Bye-bye mein lieber herr
auf wiedersehen, mein herr
Es war sehr gut, mein herr

Du sollst mich nich mehr sehen
SALLY AND THE GIRLS:
Bye-bye, mein lieber herr
Farewell, mein lieber herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care
I need the open air
SALLY:
You're better off without me
You'll get on without me
Mein herr...
Bye bye, mein herr
GIRLS:
Auf wiedersehen...
Es war sehr gut...
Du kennst nicht wohl...ach, lebe wohl!
Auf wiedersehen...
Bye Bye mein herr!
EMCEE:
The final performance of Sally Bowles!
Thank you, Sally. Bye-bye!

EMCEE:
I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world
That's just a first impression
What good's a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view
If you could see her through my eyes
You wouldn't wonder at all
If you could see her through my eyes
I guarantee you would fall (like I did)
When we're in public together
I hear society moan
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd leave us alone
(There you are, my Liebling. Your favorite!)
How can I speak of her virtues?
I don't know where to begin
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin (like I do)
Yet, when we're walking together
They sneer if I'm holding her hand
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd all understand
Why can't they leave us alone?
Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs
Ladies and Gentlemen
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is eine bisschen Verständnis -
A little understanding -
Why can't the world 'leben und leben lassen'?
'Live and let live...'
I understand your objection
I grant you the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes
She wouldn't look Jewish at all

EMCEE:

Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round
GIRLS:
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money
Monehy money
EMCEE:
If you happen to be rich
And you feel like a night's entertainment
You can pay for a gay escapade
If you happen to be rich
And alone, and you need a companion
You can ring-ting-a-ling, for the maid
If you happen to be rich
And you find you are left by your lover
Though you moan and you groan quite a lot
You can take it on the chin
Call a cab, and begin
To recover on your fourteen carat yacht
GIRLS:
....Ooooooh
...Money
Money money money money
money money money money
....Ooooooh
...Money
....Ooooooh
...Money
Money money money money
Money money money money
....Oooooooh

EMCEE:
Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
Of that we can be sure
Pffft on being poor
ALL:
Money money money

EMCEE AND GIRLS: (in canon)
If you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate
When you haven't any shoes on your feet
And your coaat's thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds underweight
When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore
But when hunger comes a rap
rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window
GIRLS:
At the window...
EMCEE:
Who's there?
GIRLS:
Hunger!
EMCEE:
Ooh, hunger!
See how love flies out the door...

EMCEE:
I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care very much
Either way
Hearts grow hard
On a windy street
Lips grow cold
With the rent to meet
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much
I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care very much
Either way
Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in
So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

EMCEE:
And now, meine Damen und Herren
Mesdames et Messieurs...Ladies and Gentlemen -
The Kit Kat Club is proud to present a most talented young lady from England.
Yes - England! I give you -
and don't forget to give her back when you're finished with her -
the toast of Mayfair...Fräulein Sally Bowles!
SALLY:
Mama
Thinks I'm living in a convent
A secluded little convent
In the southern part of France
Mama
Doesn't even have an inkling
That I'm working in a nightclub
In a pair of lacy pants
So please, sir
If you run into my mama
Don't reveal my indiscretion
Give a working girl a chance
Hush up
Don't tell Mama
Shush up
Don't tell Mama...
Don't tell Mama
Whatever you do
If you had a secret
You bet I would keep it
I would never tell on you
I'm breaking every promise that I gave her
So won't you kindly do a girl a great, big favour?
And please, my sweet patater
Keep this from the mater
Though my dance is not against the law
You can tell my papa, that's all right
'Cause he comes in here every night
But don't tell Mama what you saw!
ALL:
Mama
Thinks I'm on a tour of Europe
With a couple of my school chums
And a lady chaperone
Mama
Doesn't even have an inkling
That I left them all in Antwerp
And I'm touring on my own
So please, sir
If you run into my mama
Don't reveal my indiscretion
SALLY:
Just leave well enough alone
Hush up
ALL:
Don't tell Mama
SALLY:
Shush up
ALL:
Don't tell Mama
Don't tell Mama
Whatever you do
SALLY:
If you had a secret
You bet I would keep it
ALL:
I would never tell on you
You wouldn't want to get me in a pickle
SALLY:
And have her go and cut me off without a nickel
ALL:
So let's trust on another
Keep this from my mother
Though I'm still as pure as mountain snow
SALLY:
You can tell my uncle
Here and now
'Cause he's my agent anyhow
KIT KAT GIRLS:
But don't tell Mama what you know
SALLY:
You can tell my grandma
Suits me fine
Just yesterday she joined the line
KIT KAT GIRLS:
But don't tell Mama what you know
SALLY:
You can tell my brother
That ain't grim
'Cause if he squeals on me
I'll squeal on him
ALL:
But don't tell Mama, bitte
Don't tell Mama, please sir
Don't tell Mama what you know
GIRLS:
Sssshh!
Sssshh!
SALLY:
If you see my mummy, mum's the word!
EMCEE:
Sally Bowles! Thank you, Sally! Isn't she beautiful!!
and she's from England! And thank you Rosie, Lulu, Frenchie, Texas, Fritzie, and Helga!

EMCEE:
Thank you. And now meine Damen und Herren,
Mesdames et Messieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen-
the Kit Kat Club is so happy to welcome back an old friend.
I give you: the toast of Mayfair - Fräulein Sally Bowles!
SALLY:
What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come here the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret
Put down the knitting, the book and the broom
Time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret
Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow a horn, start celebrating
Right this way, your table's waiting
No use permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret!
I used to have a girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower...
As a matter of fact, she rented by the hour
The day she died, the neighbours came to snicker
"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor"
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
She was the happiest...corpse...I'd ever seen
I think of Elsie to this very day
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come here the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret
Put down the knitting, the book and the broom
Time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret
And as for me, as for me
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
When I go, I'm going like Elsie
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
Isn't that long a stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Only a cabaret, old chum
And I love a cabaret

EMCEE:
I know what you're thinking—
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world.
That's just a first impression—
What good's a first impression?

(Emcee and Gorilla dance)
Why can't they leave us alone.
Spoken:
Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames and Messieurs
Ladies and Gentleman
I ask you: Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is eine bisschen Verstandnis
Why can't the world leben und leben lassen?
'Live and let live....'
I understand your objection,
I grant you the problem's not small.
But if you could see her through my eyes,

EMCEE:
Meine Damen und Herren—Mesdames et Messieurs—Ladies and
Gentlemen.
Where are your troubles now? Forgotten? I told you so! We
have no troubles here.
Here life is beautiful—the girls are beautiful —
even the orchestra is beautiful.
EMCEE:
Auf wiedersehen!
A bientot!
