Oh, Herr Schultz can I believe what I see
Oh- no- it is too much to accept
It's so rare
So costly
So luxurious
If you brought me diamonds
If you brought me pearls
If you brought roses like some other gents might bring a girl
It couldn't please me more
Than the gift I see
A pineapple for me!
If in your emotions
You began to sway
Went to get some air or grabbed a chair
To keep from fainting, dead away
It couldn't please me more
Than to see you cling
To this pineapple I bring
Ahh
I can hear Hawaiian breezes blow
Ahh
It's from California
Even so, how am I to thank you?
Kindly let it pass
Would you like a slice?
That might be nice
But frankly, it would give me gas
Then we shall leave it here, not to eat but see
A pineapple
For me
From me
Ahh
Ahh
But you must not bring me any more pineapples
Do you hear?
It is not proper
It is a gift a young man might present to his lady-love
It makes me blush
But there is no one, no one in all Berlin who is more deserving
If I could, I would fill your entire home with pineapples
A pineapple
For you
From you
Ahh
Ahh
I think I will lie down for a few minutes
My head is screaming
Fraulein Schneider, good evening
Good evening, Herr Schultz
I am overwhelmed
