Leave you troubles outside!

We (we) have no troubles here!

Even the orchestra is beautiful!

And now presenting the Cabaret Girls!
Rosie!
She smells so sweet, she will make you bleed

She make you a little Lulu? Yes? No? Do I make you a little Lulu?
A little bit? You want to see me get a little bit Lulu?
For a few marks Gentleman anything is possible
Frenchie!

[FRENCHIE]
Bonjour

[EMCEE, spoken]
Frenchie is like a croissant, she's hard and crusty on the outside, but warm and moist on the inside!
Texas!
Texas is from America, and I love a good yank
Fritzie!
Oh, Fritzie, you have to stop with the bending down thing, no please, already we have lost a waiter, two tables and three bottles of champagne up there
Be careful Sir! You could be next!
And last, but not least, Helga!
Helga is my baby, and when she is bad, I spank her
And she's very, very, very, bad!
Rosie, Lulu, Frenchie, Texas, Fritzie and Helga!
Each and every one a virgin! You don't believe me?
He doesn't believe me!
Well, don't take my word for it. Go ahead please - try Helga!
Outside it is winter. But here it's so hot
Every night we have to battle with the girls to stop them from taking off all of their clothings
So who knows? Tonight we may lose the battle!
