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:
