Cabaret movie - Don't Tell Mama lyrics
rate me<br>
[EMCEE]<br>
And now, meine Damen und Herren... Mesdames et <br>
Messieurs... Ladies and Gentlemen- The Kit Kat Klub<br>
is proud to present a most talented young lady from<br>
England. Yes- England! I give you- and don't forget<br>
to give her back when you're finished with her- the<br>
toast of Mayfair... Fraulein Sally Bowles!!<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
Mama<br>
Thinks I'm living in a convent,<br>
A secluded little convent<br>
In the southern part of France.<br>
<br>
Mama<br>
Doesn't even have an inkling<br>
That I'm working in a Nightclub<br>
In a pair of Lacy pants.<br>
So please, sir.<br>
If you run into my Mama,<br>
Don't reveal my indiscretion,<br>
Give a working girl a chance.<br>
<br>
Hush up, <br>
Don't tell Mama,<br>
Shush up,<br>
Don't tell Mama...<br>
Don't tell Mama,<br>
Whatever you do.<br>
If you had a secret,<br>
You bet I would keep it.<br>
I would never tell on you.<br>
I'm breaking every promise <br>
That I gave her,<br>
So won't you kindly do a girl<br>
A great big favor?<br>
And please, my sweet patater,<br>
Keep this from the Mater,<br>
Though my dance <br>
Is not against the law.<br>
<br>
You can tell my Papa, that's all right,<br>
'Cause he comes in here every night,<br>
But don't tell Mama what you saw!<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Mama<br>
Thinks I'm on a tour of Europe,<br>
With a couple of my school chums<br>
And a lady chaperone.<br>
<br>
Mama<br>
Doesn't even have an inling<br>
That I left them all in Antwerp<br>
And I'm touring on my own.<br>
<br>
So please, Sir<br>
If you run into my Mama<br>
Don't reveal my indiscretion.<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
Just leave well enough alone.<br>
<br>
Hush up,<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Don't tell Mama.<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
Shush up,<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Don't tell Mama;<br>
Don't tell Mama<br>
Whatever you do.<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
If you had a secret,<br>
You bet I would keep it.<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
I would never tell on you.<br>
You wouldn't want to get me<br>
In a pickle,<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
And have her go and cut me off<br>
Without a nickle.<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
So let's trust one another,<br>
Keep this from my mother,<br>
Though I'm still as pure as mountain snow.<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
You can tell my Uncle <br>
Here and now<br>
'Cause he's my agent anyhow,<br>
<br>
[KIT KAT GIRLS]<br>
But don't tell Mama what you know.<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
You can tell my brother, <br>
That ain't grim<br>
'Cause if her squeals on me<br>
I'll squeal on him,<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
But don't tell Mama, bitte<br>
Don't tell Mama, please, Sir.<br>
Don't tell Mama, what you know.<br>
<br>
[GIRLS]<br>
Sssh!<br>
Sssh!<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
If you see my, Mummy,<br>
Mum's the word!<br>
<br>
