EMCEE:

Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs,
Ladies and Gentlemen: it is almost midnight!
Husbands - you have only ten seconds in which to lose your wives!
Five - four- three - two - one!
Happy New Year!

SALLY:

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 said that 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

SALLY AND THE GIRLS:

Don't dab your eye, mein herr
Or wonder why, mein herr
I've always said that 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

Bye-bye mein lieber herr,
Auf wiedersehen, mein herr
Es war sehr gut, mein herr und vorbei
Du kennst mich wohl, mein herr
Ach, lebe wohl, mein herr
Du sollst mich nicht mehr sehen, mein herr

SALLY:

Bye, bye, mein lieber
herr...

und vorbei
Du kennst mich wohl
mein herr...

And bye-bye
GIRLS:

Bye-bye mein lieber herr
auf wiedersehen, mein herr
Es war sehr gut, mein herr
und vorbei
Du kennst mich
wohl, mein herr
Du sollst mich nich mehr sehen



SALLY AND THE GIRLS:

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

SALLY:

You're better off without me
You'll get on without me
Mein herr...

Bye bye, mein herr

GIRLS:


Auf wiedersehen...
Es war sehr gut...
Du kennst nicht wohl...ach, lebe wohl!
Auf wiedersehen...
Bye Bye mein herr!


EMCEE:
