good time charlie's got the blues
of the prologue of songs originally planned, only "willkommen" remained. one of the dropped numbers, "i don't care much", was eventually restored to the 1987 production. "roommates" was replaced by "perfectly marvelous", but largely serves the same purpose, for sally to convince cliff to let her move in with him. "good time charlie" was to be sung by sally to cliff while they are on their way to fräulein schneider and herr schultz's engagement party, with sally mocking the overly dour and pessimistic cliff with the lines "you're such a good time charlie/what'll we do with you?/you're such a good-time charlie/frolicking all the time..."). "it'll all blow over" was planned for the end of the first act: fräulein schneider is concerned that marrying a jew might not be wise, and cliff is concerned about the city's growing nazism. in the song, sally tells them both that they have nothing to worry about and that all will turn out well in the end. she eventually convinces cliff and fräulein schneider to sing the song with her. (both this song and "roommates" are occasionally underscored by the rhythm of the piece.) these three deleted songs were recorded by kander and ebb, and the sheet music for the songs was included in "the complete cabaret collection", a book of vocal selections from the musical.
