Cabaret at the Cash & Carry

 

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!

You have come here to buy beans

to feed five thousand, so it seems.

Here they are, here they are.

Yes, I'll help you to load up your car,

just as soon as I've put some trousers on.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!

 

Big blocks of lard, twelve feet high.

Meringues are nesting up in the sky.

 I can't wait for my baby to come on duty,

can't wait to canoodle with my Pot Noodling beauty.

She's got the tabard and the style,

the queen of each and every aisle.

She knows how to turn the bacon slicer on.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!

Liza Minnelli as Sally Bowles in the 1972 film version of Cabaret. She was evidently mad keen to sing summat or other: she was in such a hurry, she forgot to put some of her clothes on. Ods bodikins!
