Cabaret: It Couldn't Please Me More (A Pineapple) - Cabaret Original Broadway Cast/Lotte Lenya/Jack Gilford

作词：Fred Ebb/Joe Masteroff

作曲：John Kander

If you brought me diamonds

If you brought me pearls

If you brought 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 begin to sway

Went to get some air

Or grabbed 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 shall 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 is not proper

It is a gift a young man would bring to his lady-love

It makes me blush

But there is no-one no-one in all of Berlin who is more deserving

If I could I would fill your entire room with pineapples

A pineapples

For you

From you

Ah

Ah

I think I will lie down for a few moments

My head is spinning

So good evening Fraulein

Good evening Herr Schultz

I am overwhelmed
