It Couldn’t Please Me More Lyrics by Ron Rifkin, Mary Louise Wilson

Cabaret (New Broadway Cast Recording)

1998

[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER, spoken]
Herr Schultz, can I believe what I see?
Oh, but this, this is too much to accept
It's so rare, so costly, so luxurious
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
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
[HERR SCHULTZ]
If in your emotion
You began 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
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER & HERR SCHULTZ]
Ah
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
I can hear Hawaiian breezes blow
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER & HERR SCHULTZ]
Ah
[HERR SCHULTZ]
It's from California
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Even so
How am I to thank you?
[HERR SCHULTZ]
Kindly let it pass
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Would you like a slice?
[HERR SCHULTZ]
That might be nice
But frankly, it would give me gas
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Then we shall leave it here
Not to eat, but see
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER & HERR SCHULTZ]
A pineapple
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
For me
[HERR SCHULTZ]
From me
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER & HERR SCHULTZ]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER, spoken]
But you must not bring me any more pineapples, do you hear?
It, it is not proper
It is a gift a young man would bring to his lady love
Makes me blush
[HERR SCHULTZ, spoken]
But no one, no one in all Berlin is more deserving
If I could, I would fill your entire room with pineapples
[HERR SCHULTZ]
A pineapple
For you
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
From you
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER & HERR SCHULTZ]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER, spoken]
I think I will lie down for a few moments
My head is spinning
[HERR SCHULTZ, spoken]
Fräulein Schneider, good evening
[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER, spoken]
Good evening, Herr Schultz
I am overwhelmed
