Song from "Can-Can" - 1953 Broadway Musical
Cole Porter - Never Give Anything Away Lyrics
PISTACHE:
If I have succeeded in life So far,
'Tis because my mama was my guiding star.
When I was a baby upon her knee,
Mama would so often say this to me:
Never give anything away, away, away,
'Tis very unwise,
Never give anything away, away, away,
Do not compromise,
Be economical, I say, I say, I say,
And you will do well,
Never give anything away, away, away
That you can sell.
Ev'ry night, ev'ry day,
Try to remember, ma belle,
Never give anything away, away, away
That you can sell.
GIRLS:
Never give anything away, away, away,
'Tis very unwise,
PISTACHE:
Never give anything away, away, away,
Do not compromise.
Madame Du Barry used to say,
To say, to say,
So histories tell,
"Never give anything away, away, away
PISTACHE & GIRLS:
That you can sell."
PISTACHE:
In Versailles, she would say,
Helping some poor demoiselle,
"Never give anything away,
GIRLS:
Away,
PISTACHE:
Away,
GIRLS:
Away,
PISTACHE:
Away,
GIRLS:
Away,
PISTACHE:
Away
That you can sell."
