Lyrics 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. 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.
