Don`t Tell Mama Lyrics

M.C.:

 Meine Damen und Herren, Madames et Messieurs,

 Ladies and Gentlemen!

 Und now the Kit Kat Club is proud to present the toast of Mayfair,

 Frulein Sally Bowles!

 SALLY BOWLES:

 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 could keep it

 I would never tell on you!

 I'm breakin' ev'ry promise that I gave her

 So, won't you kindly do a girl a great big favor

 And please, my sweet potato,

 Keep this from my mater,

 Thou my dance is not against the law

 You could tell my papa, that's alright!

 'Cause he comes in here ev'ry night

 But don't tell mama what you saw!

 GIRLS:

 Mama

 Since I wanted go to Europe

 With a couple of my school chumps

 And a lady chaperon

 Mama

 Doesn't even have an inkling

 That I left the morning after

 And I'm touring on my own

 So, please, sir,

 If you run into my mama

 Don't reveal my indiscretion

 SALLY BOWLES:

 Just leave well enough alone

 SALLY and GIRLS:

 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 could keep it

 I would never tell on you!

 You wouldn't want to get me in a pickle

 And have a girl ain't cut me off without a nickel

 So let's cross one another

 Keep this from my mother

 Thou I'm still as pure as mama's soul

 You can tell my uncle here and now

 'Cause he's my agent anyhow

 But don't tell mama what you know!

 You can tell my grandma, suits me fine

 Just guess s'mday she join the line

 But don't tell mama what you know!

 You can tell my brother, that ain't grim

 So if he squeals on me

 I'll squeal on him

 But don't tell mama, bitte

 Don't tell mama, please sir

 Don't tell mama what you know!

 If you see my mammy mums the word
