new broadway cast of cabaret – perfectly marvelous lyrics

[sally, spoken]
i think people are people, i really do, cliff. don’t you?
i don’t think people should have to explain anything
for example, if i should paint my fingernails green, and it just so happens i do paint them green, well, if anyone should ask me why, i say, “i think it’s pretty.”
“i think it’s pretty,” i reply
so if anyone should ask about you and me, you have two alternatives:
you can either say, ” oh yes, it’s true; we’re living in delicious sin,” or you can simply tell the truth and say:

[sally]
i met this perfectly marvelous girl
in this perfectly wonderful place
as i lifted a gl-ss to the start of a marvelous year
before i knew it, she called on the phone, inviting
next moment i was no longer alone
but sat reciting
some perfectly beautiful verse
in my charming american style
how i dazzled her senses
was truly no less than a crime
now i’ve this perfectly marvelous girl
in my perfectly beautiful room
and we’re living together
and having a marvelous time

[cliff, spoken]
ah sally, i’m afraid it wouldn’t work out
you’re much too distracting

[sally, spoken]
distracting? no, inspiring!

[sally]
she tells me perfectly marvelous tales
of her thrillingly scandalous life
which i’ll probably use
as a chapter or two in my book
and since my stay in berlin was to force creation
what luck to fall on a fabulous source of stimulation
and perfectly marvelous too
is her perfect agreement to be
just as still as a mouse
while i’m giving my novel a whirl
yes, i’ve a highly agreeable life
in my perfectly beautiful room
with my nearly invisible
perfectly marvelous girl

[cliff, spoken]
sally, i can’t afford… do you have any money?

[sally, spoken]
a few marks…uh… six?

[cliff, spoken]
oh god

[sally, spoken]
oh please cliff, just for a day or two, please?

[cliff]
i… met… this
truly remarkable girl
in this really incredible town
and she sk!llfully managed
to talk her way into my room

[sally]
oh, cliff!

[cliff]
i have a terrible feeling i’ve said
a dumb thing
beside, i’ve only got one narrow bed

[sally]
we’ll think of something
