Tomorrow belongs to me Cabaret
is an "interpretation" of the official song of the Hitler-Jugend "Es zittern die morschen Knochen" (The rotten bones are trembling/Дрожат одряхлевшие кости, 1934) by Hans Baumann (1914-1988) which was, after the Horst-Wessel-Lied, one of the most famous Nazi songs.

In modern Germany, public singing of these songs gets you up to 3 years of prison (§86a Strafgesetzbuch).

"Tomorrow belongs to me" was written by two American Jews - Kander (1927-present) and Ebb (1928-2004), who wrote all songs for "Cabaret",  "Chicago" (1975), etc
