Cabaret Lyrics

M.C.:

 Meine Damen und Herren, Madames et Messieurs,

 Ladies and Gentlemen,

 Und now, once again, Frulein Sally Bowls!

 SALLY BOWLES:

 What good is sittin' alone in your room

 Come hear the music play,

 Life is a cabaret old chum

 Come to the cabaret.

 Put down that knittin', 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 that band

 Come blow your horn, start celebratin'

 Right this way, your table's waitin'

 No use permittin' a prophet of doom

 Wipe every smile away, yes

 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 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 sneaker

 Well, that's what comes of too much pills and licqueur

 But when I saw her laid down 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 said:

 What good is sittin' alone in your room

 Come hear the music play,

 Life is a cabaret old chum

 Come to the cabaret

 Put down that knittin', the book and the broom

 Time for a holiday,

 Life is a cabaret, old chum

 So come to the cabaret.

 And as for me,

 As for me,

 I made my up back in Chelsea

 When I go, I'm going like Elsie,

 Start by admitting go cradle to tumb

 Isn't that a longer stay

 What good is sittin' alone in your room

 Come hear the music play, yes

 Life is a cabaret old chum

 It's only a cabaret old chum

 And I love a cabaret!

 Yes, life is a cabaret old chum

 Only a cabaret old chum

 So come to the cabaret
