Cabaret: It Couldn't Please Me More (A Pineapple)

7 views

Lyrics

If you bought me diamonds
 If you bought me pearls
 If you bought me roses
 Like some other gents might bring to other girls
 It couldn't please me more
 Than the gift I see
 A pineapple
 For me
 If in your emotion
 You began to sway
 Went to get some air
 Or grab a chair
 To keep from fainting dead away
 It couldn't please me more
 Than to see you cling
 To the pineapple
 I bring
 Ah
 I can hear Hawaiian breezes blow
 Ah
 It's from California
 Even so
 How am I to thank you?
 Kindly let it pass
 Would you like a slice?
 That might be nice
 But frankly, it would give me gas
 Then we should leave it here
 Not to eat, but see
 A pineapple
 For me (from me)
 Ah, ah
 But you must not bring me any more pineapples, do you hear?
 It's not proper
 It's a gift a young man might present to his lady love
 It makes me blush
 But no one, no one in all Berlin is more deserving
 If I could, I would fill your entire room with pineapples!
 A pineapple
 For you
 From you
 Ah
 Ah
 Ah, but now, I think I must lie down for a few minutes
 My head is spinning
 So - good evening, Fraulein
 Good evening, Herr Schultz
 I am overwhelmed
