Lisa Minelli - Cabaret Lyrics

Send "Cabaret" ringtone to your cell

What good is sitting alone

In your 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.

It's 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.

What good's permitting

Some prophet of doom

To wipe every smile away.

Life is a Cabaret old chum

So Come to the Cabaret!

I used to have a girlfriend

Known as Elsie

With whom I shared

A four sordid rooms in Chelsea

She wasn't what 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

All alone in you room?

Come hear the music play.

Life is a Cabaret old chum

Come to the Cabaret.

And as for me

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

It isn't that a long a stay.

Life is a Cabaret old chum

It's only a Cabarert old chum

And I love a Cabaret.
