Cabaret
- What good is sitting alone
- In your room?
- Come hear the music play.
- Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
- Come to the Cabaret.
- Put down the knitting,
- The book and the broom.
- Time for a holiday.
- Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
- Come to the Cabaret.
- Come taste the wine,
- COme hear the band.
- Come blow a horn,
- Start celebrating;
- Right this way,
- Your table’s waiting.
- No use permitting
- Some prophet of doom
- To wipe every smile away.
- Come hear the music play.
- Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
- Come to the Cabaret!
- I used to have a girlfriend
- Known as Elsie,
- With whom I shared
- Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
- She wasn’t waht you’d call
- A blushing flower…
- As a matter of fact
- She rented by the hour.
- The day she died the neighbors
- Came to snicker:
- “Well, that’s what comes
- From too much pills and liquor.”
- But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
- She was the happiest… corpse…
- I’d ever seen.
- I think of Elsie to this very day.
- I remember how she’d turn to me and say:
- “What good is sitting alone
- In you room?
- Come hear the music play.
- Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
- Come to the Cabaret.
- Put down the knitting,
- The book and the broom.
- Time for a holiday.
- Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
- Come to the Cabaret.”
- And as for me,
- I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
- When I go, I’m going like Elsie.
- Start by admitting,
- From cradle to tomb
- Isn’t that a long a stay.
- Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
- Only a Cabarert, old chum
- And I love a Cabaret.
