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