[EMCEE]And now, meine Damen und Herren... Mesdames etMessieurs... Ladies and Gentlemen- The Kit Kat Klubis proud to present a most talented young lady fromEngland. Yes- England! I give you- and don't forgetto give her back when you're finished with her- thetoast of Mayfair... Fraulein Sally Bowles!![SALLY]MamaThinks I'm living in a convent,A secluded little conventIn the southern part of France.MamaDoesn't even have an inklingThat I'm working in a NightclubIn 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 promiseThat I gave her,So won't you kindly do a girlA great big favor?And please, my sweet patater,Keep this from the Mater,Though my danceIs not against the law.You can tell my Papa, that's all right,'Cause he comes in here ev
ery night,But don't tell Mama what you saw![ALL]MamaThinks I'm on a tour of Europe,With a couple of my school chumsAnd a lady chaperone.MamaDoesn't even have an inlingThat I left them all in AntwerpAnd I'm touring on my own.So please, SirIf you run into my MamaDon'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 MamaWhatever 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 meIn a pickle,[SALLY]And have her go and cut me offWithout 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 UncleHere 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 meI'll squeal on him,[ALL]But don't tell Mama, bitteDon't tell Mama, p
