Song by Liza Minnelli<br /><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, The book and the broom.<br>

It's time for a holiday.<br>

Life is a Cabaret, old chum<br>

Come to the Cabaret.<br>

<br>

Come taste the wine, Come hear the band.<br>

Come blow a horn, Start celebrating;<br>

Right this way, Your table's waiting.<br>

<br>

What good's permitting Some prophet of doom<br>

To wipe every smile away.<br>

Life is a Cabaret, old chum,<br>

So Come to the Cabaret!<br>

<br>

I used to have a girlfriend Known as Elsie,<br>

With whom I shared A four sordid rooms in Chelsea<br>

She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower...<br>

As a matter of fact she rented by the hour.<br>

<br>

The day she died the neighbors Came to snicker:<br>

"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor."<br>

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

She was the happiest... corpse... I'd ever seen.<br>

<br>

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

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

"What good is sitting all alone in you 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, And as for me,<br>

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

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

<br>

Start by admitting, From cradle to tomb<br>

It isn't that a long a stay.<br>

Life is a Cabaret, old chum,<br>

It's only a Cabaret, old chum<br>

And I love a Cabaret. <br>
