It Couldn t Please Me More lyrics
[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER (spoken)]
Herr Schultz. Can I beleive what I see?
But this is too much to accept.
It s so rare... so costly... so luxurious...

If you brought me diamonds,
If you brought me pearls,
If you brought me roses
Like some other gents
Might bring to other girls,
It couldn t please me more
Than the gift I see;
A pineapple for me.

[SCHULTZ]
If in your emotion
You begin 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 the pineapple I bring.

[BOTH]
Ah...

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
I can hear Hawaiian breezes blow

[BOTH]
Ah...

[SCHULTZ]
It s from California

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Even so.
How am I to thank you?

[SCHULTZ]
Kindly let it pass,

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Would you like a slice?

[SCHULTZ]
That might be nice,
But frankly, it would give me gas.

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Then we shall leave it here,
Not ot eat, but see:

[BOTH]
A pineapple...

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
For me.

[SCHULTZ]
From me.

[BOTH]
Ah...

[dance]

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER (spoken)]
But you must not bring me any more pineapples.
Do you hear? It is not proper.
It is a gift a young man would bring to his lady-love.
it makes me blush.

[SCHULTZ (spoken)]
But there is no-one... no-one in all of Berlin who is
more deserving.
If I could, I would fill your entire room with pineapples!

A pineapples
For you,

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
From you.

[BOTH (with Emcee)]
Ah...
Ah...

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER (spoken)]
I think I will lie down for a few moments. My head is
spinning!

[SCHULTZ]
Fraulein Schneider... good evening.

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Good evening, Herr Schultz.
(Opens her bedroom door, turns to Schultz.)
I am... overwhelmed!
(She goes in and closes the door.)
