Cabaret movie - Perfectly Marvellous lyrics
rate me<br>
[SALLY (spoken)]<br>
I think people are perfectly marvellous, I really do, Cliff.<br>
Don't you? I don't think people should have to explain<br>
anything. For example, if I should paint my fingernails green<br>
and it just so happens I do paint them green, well, if anyone<br>
should ask me why, I say: " I think it's pretty!" ("I think<br>
it's pretty," I reply.) So, if anyone should ask about you<br>
and me, you have two alternatives: you can either say,<br>
"Oh, yes, it's true. We're living in delicious sin." Or<br>
you can simple tell the truth, and say:<br>
<br>
I met this perfectly marvellous girl<br>
In this perfectly wonderful place<br>
As I lifted a glass<br>
To the start of a marvellous year.<br>
Before I knew she called on the phone,<br>
Inviting.<br>
Next moment I was no longer alone,<br>
But sat reciting<br>
Some perfectly beautiful verse,<br>
In my charming Amearican style.<br>
How I dazzled her senses <br>
Was truly no less than a crime.<br>
<br>
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl<br>
In my perfectly beautiful room<br>
And we're living together<br>
And having a marvellous time.<br>
<br>
[CLIFF (spoken)]<br>
Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out. You're much<br>
too distracting.<br>
<br>
[SALLY (spoken)]<br>
Distracting? No, inspiring!<br>
<br>
She tell me perfectly marvellous tales<br>
Of her thrillingly scandalous life<br>
Which I'll probably use <br>
As a chapter or two in my book.<br>
<br>
And since my stay in Berlin was to force<br>
Creation,<br>
What luck to fall on a fabulous source<br>
Of stimulation.<br>
And perfectly marvellous, too,<br>
Is her perfect agreement to be<br>
Just as still as a mouse<br>
When I'm giving my novel a whirl.<br>
<br>
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life<br>
In my perfectly beautiful room<br>
With my nearly invisible,<br>
Perfectly marvellous, girl.<br>
<br>
[CLIFF (spoken)]<br>
Sally- I just can't afford... Do you have any money?<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
A few marks... Six!<br>
<br>
[CLIFF]<br>
Oh, God!<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
Oh, please, Cliff- just for a day or two? Please!<br>
<br>
[CLIFF]<br>
I... met... this...<br>
Truly remarkable girl<br>
In this really incredible town,<br>
And she skillfully managed<br>
To talk her way in to my room.<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
Oh, Cliff!<br>
<br>
[CLIFF]<br>
I have a terrible feeling I've said<br>
A dumb thing.<br>
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed.<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
We'll think of something.<br>
<br>
