Dont Tell Mama

[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 dont forget to give her back when youre finished with her-
the toast of Mayfair...
Fraulein Sally Bowles!!

Mama
Thinks Im living in a convent,
A secluded little convent
In the southern part of France.

Mama
Doesnt even have an inkling
That Im working in a Nightclub
In a pair of Lacy pants.
So please, sir.
If you run into my Mama,
Dont reveal my indiscretion,
Give a working girl a chance.

Hush up,
Dont tell Mama,
Shush up,
Dont tell Mama...
Dont tell Mama,
Whatever you do .
If you had a secret,
You bet I would keep it.
I would never tell on you.
Im breaking every promise
That I gave her,
So wont 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, thats all right,
Cause he comes in here every night,
But dont tell Mama what you saw!

Mama
Thinks Im on a tour of Europe,
With a couple of my school chums
And a lady chaperone.

Mama
Doesnt even have an inling
That I left them all in Antwerp
And Im touring on my own.

So please, Sir
If you run into my Mama
Dont reveal my indiscretion.
Just leave well enough alone.
Hush up,
Dont tell Mama.
Shush up,
Dont tell Mama;
Dont tell Mama
Whatever you do.
If you had a secret,
You bet I would keep it.
I would never tell on you.

You wouldnt want to get me In a pickle,
And have her go and cut me off
Without a nickle.
So lets trust one another,
Keep this from my mother,
Though Im still as pure as mountain snow.
[SALLY]
You can tell my Uncle
Here and now
Cause hes my agent anyhow,
[KIT KAT GIRLS]
But dont tell Mama what you know.
[SALLY]
You can tell my grandma,

[KIT KAT GIRLS]
But dont tell Mama what you know.
[SALLY]
You can tell my brother,
That aint grim
Cause if her squeals on me
Ill squeal on him,
But dont tell Mama, bitte
Dont tell Mama, please, Sir.
Dont tell Mama, what you know.
[GIRLS]

[SALLY]
If you see my, Mummy,
Mums the word!
