And now, meine Damen und Herren... Mesdames et
|
Messieurs... Ladies and Gentlemen- The Kit Kat Klub
|
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... Fraulein Sally Bowles!!

|
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 favor?
|
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!
|
|

|
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 inling
|
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 nickle.
|
|
[ALL]
|
So let's trust one 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 brother,
|
That ain't grim
|
'Cause if her 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]
|
Sssh!
|
Sssh!
|
|
[SALLY]
|
If you see my, Mummy,
|
Mum's the word!
