Originally performed by liza minneli in the musical "cabaret"

(victoria's song for which she sang to audition for the spice girls)



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!
