Willkommen

[EMCEE]
Welcome, good day to you, welcome
Loner, estranged, stranger
Lovely to meet you, delighted am I
Happy to see you, linger, reste, stay

Welcome, good day to you, welcome
In Cabaret, our Cabaret, to Cabaret

[Spoken]
Dear Sirs and Madames, Mesdames and Messieurs,
Ladies and Gentlemen! How’d you do, good evening
What’s new? How are you? Do you feel good?
I bet you do!
I’m what you call, a conferencier; and a loyal companion
I am your host!

And say
Welcome, good day to you, welcome
In Cabaret, our Cabaret, to Cabaret

[spoken]
Leave you troubles outside!
So- life is disappointing? Forget it!
We have no troubles here! Here life is beautiful...
The girls are beautiful...
Even the orchestra is beautiful!

You see? I told you the orchestra is beautiful!

And now presenting the Cabaret Girls!
Rosie! (Rosie is so called because of the color of her
cheeks.) Lulu! (Oh, you like Lulu? Well, too bad!
So does Rosie.) Frenchie! (You know I like to order Frenchie
on the side. On your side Frenchie! Just kidding!)
Texas! (Yes, Texas is from America!But she's a very
cunning linguist!) Fritzie!
(Oh, Fritzie, please, will you stop that!
Already this week we have lost two waiters,
a table and three bottles of champagne up there.)
and Helga! (Helga is the baby. I'm just like a father
to her. So when she's bad, I spank her. And she's
very, very, very, very, very bad.)

Rosie, Lulu, Frenchie, Texas, Fritzie... Und Helga.
Each and every one a virgin! You don't believe me?
Well, don't take my word for it. Go ahead- try Helga!

Outside it is winter. But in here it's so hot.
Every night we have to battle with the girls to keep
them from taking off all their clothings. So don't go
away. Who knows? Tonight we may lose the battle!

[KIT KAT GIRLS]
We say
Welcome, good day to you, welcome
In Cabaret, our Cabaret, to Cabaret!

[EMCEE]
We are here to serve you!
And now presenting the Kit Kat Boys:
Here they are!
Bobby! Victor!
Or is it
Victor! and Bobby...
You know, there's really only one way to tell the
difference...
I'll show you later.
Hans (Oh Hans, go easy on the sauerkraut!)
Herrman (You know what's funny about Herrman?
There's nothing funny about Herrman!)
And, finally, the toast of Mayfair, Fraulein Sally Bowles!
