Mein Herr (From "Cabaret")

You have to understand the way I am, Mein Herr
A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, Mein Herr
You’ll never turn the vinegar to jam, Mein Herr
So I do…
What I do…
When I’m through…
Then I’m through…
And I’m through…
Toodle-oo!
Bye-Bye, Mein Lieber Herr
Farewell, Mein Lieber Herr
It was a fine affair
But now it’s over
And though I used to care
I need the open air
You’re better off without me, Mein Herr
Don’t dab your eye, Mein Herr
Or wonder why, Mein Herr
I’ve always told you I was a rover
You mustn’t knit your brow
You should have known by now
You’d every cause to doubt me, Mein Herr
The continent of Europe is so wide, Mein Herr
Not only up and down, but side to side, Mein Herr
I couldn’t ever cross it if I tried, Mein Herr
So I do…
What I can…
Inch by inch…
Step by step…
Mile by mile…
Man by man
Bye-Bye, Mein Lieber Herr
Farewell, Mein Lieber Herr
It was a fine affair
But now it’s over
And though I used to care
I need the open air
You’re better off without me, Mein Herr
Don’t dab your eye, Mein Herr
Or wonder why, Mein Herr
I’ve always told you I was a rover
You mustn’t knit your brow
You should have known by now
You’d every cause to doubt me, Mein Herr
Auf wiedersehen… Bye bye mein Herr!
