It Couldn't Please Me More Lyrics by Cabaret Soundtrack

It Couldn't Please Me More

FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
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
HERR SCHULTZ:
If in your emotion you began to sway
When to get some in
Or drab a chin to keep from thinking dirt away
It couldn't please me more
Than to see you claim
To the pineapple blame
BOTH:
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
I can hear Hawaiian breezes blow
BOTH:
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
HERR SCHULTZ:
It's from California
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
Even so!
How am I to thank you?
HERR SCHULTZ:
Kindly let it pass.
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
Would you like a slice?
HERR SCHULTZ:
That might be nice,
But frankly it would give me gas.
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
Then we should leave it here,
Not to eat, but see
BOTH:
A pineapple
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
For me.
HERR SCHULTZ:
From me.
BOTH:
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
But you must not bring me any more pineapples. It's through, you hear?
It's not proper. It's a gift the young man must present to his lady love
It makes me blush
HERR SCHULTZ:
But no one, no one in all Berlin is more deserving. If I could I would fill
An entire room with pineapples
BOTH:
A pineapple-
HERR SCHULTZ:
For you
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
From you-
BOTH:
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
Ah ah-
By now I think I must lie down for a few minutes, my head is spinning.
HERR SCHULTZ:
So, good evening Frulein!
FRULEIN SCHNEIDER:
Good evening, Herr Schultz.
I'm overwhelmed!
