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.
