Cabaret movie - Cabaret lyrics

<br>

What good is sitting alone in your room?<br>

Come hear the music play.<br>

Life is a Cabaret, old chum,<br>

Come to the Cabaret.<br>

<br>

Put down the knitting,<br>

The book and the broom.<br>

Time for a holiday.<br>

Life is Cabaret, old chum,<br>

Come to the Cabaret.<br>

<br>

Come taste the wine,<br>

Come hear the band.<br>

Come blow your horn,<br>

Start celebrating;<br>

Right this way,<br>

Your table's waiting<br>

<br>

No use permitting<br>

soem prophet of doom<br>

To wipe every smile away.<br>

Come hear the music play.<br>

Life is a Cabaret, old chum,<br>

Come to the Cabaret!<br>

<br>

I used to have a girlfriend<br>

known as Elsie<br>

With whom I shared<br>

Four sordid rooms in Chelsea<br>

<br>

She wasn't what you'd call<br>

A blushing flower...<br>

As a matter of fact<br>

She rented by the hour.<br>

<br>

The day she died the neighbors<br>

came to snicker:<br>

"Well, thats what comes <br>

from to much pills and liquor."<br>

<br>

But when I saw her laid out like a Queen<br>

She was the happiest...corpse...<br>

I'd ever seen.<br>

<br>

I think of Elsie to this very day.<br>

I'd remember how'd she turn to me and say:<br>

"What good is sitting alone in your room?<br>

Come hear the music play.<br>

Life is a Cabaret, old chum,<br>

Come to the Cabaret."<br>

<br>

And as for me,<br>

I made up my mind back in Chelsea,<br>

When I go, I'm going like Elsie.<br>

<br>

Start by admitting<br>

From cradle to tomb<br>

Isn't that long a stay.<br>

Life is a Cabaret, old chum,<br>

Only a Cabaret, old chum,<br>

And I love a Cabaret!<br>

<br>

<br>
