Actually Chief they're all on the internet-I usually find them by just typing in the title and writing lyrics.

Joyce Chittick---If You Could See Her Through My Eyes

EMCEE:
I know what you're thinking
You wonder why I chose her
Out of all the ladies in the world
That's just a first impression
What good's a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
It would change your point of view
If you could see her through my eyes
You wouldn't wonder at all
If you could see her through my eyes
I guarantee you would fall (like I did)
When we're in public together
I hear society moan
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd leave us alone
(There you are, my Liebling. Your favorite!)
How can I speak of her virtues?
I don't know where to begin
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin (like I do)
Yet, when we're walking together
They sneer if I'm holding her hand
But if they could see her through my eyes
Maybe they'd all understand

Why can't they leave us alone?

Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs
Ladies and Gentlemen
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is eine bisschen Verständnis -
A little understanding -
Why can't the world 'leben und leben lassen'?
'Live and let live...'
I understand your objection
I grant you the problem's not small
But if you could see her through my eyes
She wouldn't look Jewish at all




this song was one of the most controversial. It is the reaction to Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schultz's relationship (to a different couple in the movie). At the end, when the Emcee says, "She wouldn't look Jewish at all," some took that as an anti-Semitism remark. I never did! I understood what was trying to be conveyed. The gorilla is a symbol of the Jew-- the audience laughs at first, but then they realize the propaganda they're supporting. The Emcee is saying that he loves her no matter what, and he does not see her as just being Jewish-- he sees her for every other quality. The song really is a kick in the ass. In the 60's, they briefly changed the ending to "meeskite," because of the outrage. Yet, not many know what the hell that is, and Joel Grey just kept slipping the original line in anyway. Now that a lot of the shame of the Holocaust has lifted and it's being more acknowledged, the lyrics remain true to the original. Plus, the song holds true to all prejudices, which obviously still run rampant.
