Fräulein Schneider's Boarding House, Kit Kat Klub & Cliff's Room:

It Couldn't Please Me More

SCHNEIDER (spoken):

Oh, Herr Schultz can I believe what I see

Oh- no- it is too much to accept

It′s so rare

So costly

So luxurious

(sung)

If you brought me diamonds

If you brought me pearls

If you brought roses like some other gents might bring a girl

It couldn't please me more

Than the gift I see

A pineapple for me!

SCHULTZ:

If in your emotions

You began to sway

Went to get some air or grabbed a chair

To keep from fainting, dead away

It couldn′t please me more

Than to see you cling

To this pineapple I bring

BOTH:

Ahh

SCHNEIDER:

I can hear Hawaiian breezes blow

BOTH:

Ahh

SCHULTZ:

It's from California

SCHNEIDER:

Even so, how am I to thank you?

SCHULTZ:

Kindly let it pass

SCHNEIDER:

Would you like a slice?

SCHULTZ:

That might be nice

But frankly, it would give me gas

Then we shall leave it here, not to eat but see

BOTH:

A pineapple

SCHNEIDER:

For me

SCHULTZ:

From me

BOTH:

Ahh

Ahh

(spoken)

SCHNEIDER:

But you must not bring me any more pineapples

Do you hear?

It is not proper

It is a gift a young man might present to his lady-love

It makes me blush

SCHULTZ:

But there is no one, no one in all Berlin who is more deserving

If I could, I would fill your entire home with pineapples

(sung)

BOTH:

A pineapple

SCHULTZ:

For you

SCHNEIDER:

From you

BOTH:

Ahh

Ahh

(spoken)

SCHNEIDER:

I think I will lie down for a few minutes

My head is screaming

SCHULTZ:

Fraulein Schneider, good evening

SCHNEIDER:

Good evening, Herr Schultz

I am overwhelmed

Tomorrow Belongs to Me

EMCEE:

The sun on the meadow is summery warm

The stag in the forest runs free

But gather together to breathe the storm

Tomorrow belongs to me

The branch of the linden is leafy and green

The Rhine gives its gold to the sea

But somewhere a glory awaits unseen

Tomorrow belongs to me

EMCEE & (ENSEMBLE):

The baby in his cradle is closing his eyes (The baby in his cradle is closing his eyes)

The blossom embraces the bee (The blossom embraces the bee)

But soon says a whisper

"Arise, arise"

EMCEE:

Tomorrow belongs

Tomorrow belongs

Tomorrow belongs

Tomorrow belongs

To me

Maybe This Time

(spoken)

CLIFF:

The truth is, we're drifting, we have no focus to our lives

A baby would make all the difference

I know it would to me

I'd get a job, I'd have to

I'd, I'd stay home nights

I'd write the novel, I'd wash the diapers

The whole business

Listen, Sally, will you do one thing for me please?

At least think about it before you see the doctor

(sung)

SALLY:

Maybe this time I'll be lucky

Maybe this time he'll stay

Maybe this time, for the first time

Love won't hurry away

He will hold me fast

I'll be home at last

Not a loser anymore

Like the last time and the time before

Everybody loves a winner

So nobody loved me

'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy'

That's what I long to be

All the odds are in my favour

Something's bound to begin

It's got to happen

Happen sometime

Maybe this time I'll win

Everybody loves a winner

So nobody loved me

'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy'

That's what I long to be

All the odds are in my favour

Something's bound to begin!

It's got to happen

Happen sometime

Maybe this time

Maybe this time

I'll win...
