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
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 ev'ry smile away
life is a cabaret old chum
come to the cabaret
I used to have a girl friend known as "Elsie"
with whom I shared four sorted 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 turned to me and say
"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.
time for a holiday.
Life is a cabaret old chum
come to the cabaret."
And as for me
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 long a stay!
life is a cabaret old chum!
only a cabaret old chum!
and I love a cabaret!
