Cliff's Room & Kit Kat Klub

Perfectly Marvellous

SALLY (spoken):

Err, Cliff if you don′t mind

I would like to withdraw the question

'Cos, well, really it′s none of mine business

I think that people are people

I really do, Cliff, don't you?

I don't think they should have to explain a thing

For example, if I paint my fingernails green

And well, it happens that I do paint them green

Someone should ask me why

I say, "I think it′s pretty"

"I think it′s pretty," I reply

So, if anyone should ask about you and me one day

You've two alternatives

You can either say

"Oh yes, we′re living in delicious sin"

Or you can simply tell them the truth and say

(sung)

I met this perfectly marvellous girl

In this perfectly wonderful place

As I lifted a glass to the start of a marvellous year

Before, I knew it, she called on the phone

Inviting

Next moment, I was no longer alone

But sat reciting

Some perfectly beautiful verse

In my charming American style

How I dazzled her senses

Is truly no less than a crime

Yes!

I've this perfectly marvellous girl

In my perfectly beautiful room

And we′re living together

And having a marvellous time!

(spoken)

CLIFF:

Okay, um Sally, I'm afraid it wouldn′t work

You're much too distracting

SALLY:

Distracting?

Heehee, no

Inspiring!

(sung)

She tells me

Perfectly marvellous tales

Of her thrillingly scandalous life

Which I'll probably use

As a chapter or two in my book

And since my stay in Berlin was to force

A creation

What luck to fall on a fabulous source

Of stimulation

And perfectly marvellous, too

Is her perfect agreement to be

Just as still as a mouse

While I′m giving my novel a whirl

Yes!

I have a highly agreeable life

In my perfectly beautiful room

With my nearly invisible, perfectly marvellous girl

(spoken)

CLIFF:

Okay, Sally, I just can′t afford to it

Do you have any money?

Yes, six marks!

Oh god!

No, oh, Cliff, Cliff please just for a night or two, please

(sung)

CLIFF:

I met this truly remarkable girl

In this, really incredible town

And she skillfully managed to talk her way into my room

SALLY:

Oh, Cliff!

CLIFF:

I have a terrible feeling, I said

A dumb thing

Besides I've only got one narrow bed

SALLY:

We′ll think of something

Two Ladies
