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!
