[EMCEE]
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!
Fremde, etranger, stranger.
Glucklich zu sehen, je suis enchante, happy to see you.
Bleibe, reste, stay.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret.

[Spoken]
Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Guden abend, bon soir, good evening!
Wie geht's? Comment ca va? Do you feel good?
Yeah, I bet you do!
Ich bin euer conferencier; je suis votre compere...
I am you host!

Und sagen
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Im Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret.

[Spoken]
Leave you troubles outside!
So - life is disappointing? Err!? Forget it!
We have no troubles here!
Here life is beautiful...
The girls are beautiful...
Even the orchestra is beautiful!

[Orchestra plays]

You see? I told you the orchestra was beautiful!

And now presenting the Cabaret Girls!
Rosie! (Rosie is so called because of the color of her cheeks.)
Lulu! (Oh, you like Lulu? Huh, yeah? Well, too bad! So does Rosie.)
Frenchie! (You know I like to order Frenchie on the side.
Mhmm. On your side Frenchie! Just kidding.)
Texas! (Yes, Texas is from America! Mhmm!
But she's a very cunning linguist!)
Fritzie! (Oh, Fritzie, would you stop that!
Already this week we have lost two waiters,
a table and three bottles of champagne up there like this.)
And Helga! (Helga is the baby. I'm like a father to her. Mhmm!
So when she's bad, I spank her.
And she's very, very, very, very, very, very bad.)

Rosie, Lulu, Frenchie, Texas, Fritzie... And Helga.
Each and every one a virgin! You don't believe me? Hmm!?
Well don't take my word for it. Go ahead - try Helga!

Outside it is winter. But in here it's so hot. Oo!
Every night we have to battle with the girls to keep
them from taking off all of their clothings. So don't go away.
Who knows? Tonight we may lose the battle!

We are here to serve you!
And now presenting the Cabaret Boys!
Here they are!
Bobby! Victor!
Or is it
Victor! and Bobby...
You know, there's only really one way to tell the difference...
I'll show you later.
Hans! (Oh Hans, baby, go easy on the sauerkraut!)
Herrman (You know the funny thing about Herrman?
There's nothing funny about Herrman!)
And, finally, the toast of Mayfair, Fraulein Sally Bowles!
