M.C.: Meine Damen und Herren, Madames et Messieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen! Und now the Kit Kat Club is proud to present the toast of Mayfair, Fräulein Sally Bowles! 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 could keep it I would never tell on you! I'm breakin' ev'ry promise that I gave her So, won't you kindly do a girl a great big favor And please, my sweet potato, Keep this from my mater, Thou my dance is not against the law You could tell my papa, that's alright! 'Cause he comes in here ev'ry night But don't tell mama what you saw! GIRLS: Mama Since I wanted go to Europe With a couple of my school chumps And a lady chaperon Mama Doesn't even have an inkling That I left the morning after And I'm touring on my own So, please, sir, If you run into my mama Don't reveal my indiscretion SALLY BOWLES: Just leave well enough alone SALLY and GIRLS: 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 could keep it I would never tell on you! You wouldn't want to get me in a pickle And have a girl ain't cut me off without a nickel So let's cross one another Keep this from my mother Thou I'm still as pure as mama's soul You can tell my uncle here and now 'Cause he's my agent anyhow But don't tell mama what you know! You can tell my grandma, suits me fine Just guess s'mday she join the line But don't tell mama what you know! You can tell my brother, that ain't grim So if he squeals on me I'll squeal on him But don't tell mama, bitte Don't tell mama, please sir Don't tell mama what you know! If you see my mammy mums the word
