Merely 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. here you here! good luck maria
