jessie buckley & 2021 london cast of cabaret - don't tell mama lyrics

Loading...

[emcee, spoken]
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
now, she is so talented, so charming
that, only yesterday, i said to her
“i want you for my wife”
and she said, “your wife? what would she want with me?”
thank you, thank you

i give you, and don’t forget to give her back
when you have finished with her
the toast of mayfair
fräulein sally bowles!

[sally, spoken]
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
take your hand out of your pocket
sir, where i can see them
[sally]
so, please, sir
if you run into my mama
don’t reveal my indiscretion
give a working girl a chance
ah, ah, ah!

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 potater
keep this from the mater
though my dance is not against the law

you can tell my papa, that’s alright
’cause he comes in here every night
but don’t tell mama what you saw!
woo

[sally & kit kat girls]
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 inkling
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
h+llo

hush up!

[sally & kit kat girls]
don’t tell mama

[sally]
shush up!

[sally & kit kat girls]
don’t tell mama
don’t tell mama, whatever you do

[sally]
if you had a secret
you bet i would keep it
[sally & kit kat girls]
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 nickel

[sally & kit kat girls]
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

[sally & kit kat girls]
but don’t tell mama what you know

[sally]
you can tell my grandma, suits me fine
just yesterday she joined the line

[sally & kit kat girls]
but don’t tell mama what you know

[sally]
you can tell my brother, that ain’t grim
’cause if he squeals on me, i’ll squeal on him!

[sally & kit kat girls]
but don’t tell mama, bitte
don’t tell mama, please sir
don’t tell mama what you know
(shh! shh!)

[sally, spoken]
if you see my mummy, mum’s the word
