Cliff's Room

What Would You Do?

(spoken)

CLIFF:

Fraulein Schneider, you can′t just give up that way!

SCHNEIDER:

Oh yes I can

And that is easy to say, easy for you, fight

If you fail what does it matter

You- you pack your belongings

You move to Paris

And if you do not like Paris

A move where?

(sung)

It is easy for you

But if you were me

With time rushing by

What would you do?

With the clock running down

What would you do?

The young always have the cure

Being brave, being sure

And free

But imagine

If you, were me

Alone like me

This is the only world I know

Some rooms to let

The sum of a lifetime, even so

I'll take your advice

What would you do?

Would you pay the price?

What would you do?

Suppose simply keeping still means

You′ll manage until the end

What would you do?

My brave, young friend

Grown old like me

With neither the will nor wish to run

Grown tired like me

Who hurries for bed when day is done

Grown wise like me

Who isn't at war with anyone

Not anyone!

With a storm in the wind

What would you do?

Suppose you're one frightened voice

Being told what the choice

Must be

Go on, tell me

I will listen

What would you do

If you were me?

I Don't Care Much

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
