\nLYRICS:<\/strong>
\n“What good is sitting alone In your room?
\nCome hear the music play.
\nLife is a Cabaret, old chum,
\nCome to the Cabaret.<\/p>\n

Put down the knitting, The book and the broom.
\nIt’s time for a holiday.
\nLife is a Cabaret, old chum
\nCome to the Cabaret.<\/p>\n

Come taste the wine, Come hear the band.
\nCome blow a horn, Start celebrating;
\nRight this way, Your table’s waiting.<\/p>\n

What good’s permitting Some prophet of doom
\nTo wipe every smile away.
\nLife is a Cabaret, old chum,
\nSo Come to the Cabaret!<\/p>\n

I used to have a girlfriend Known as Elsie,
\nWith whom I shared A four sordid rooms in Chelsea
\nShe wasn’t what you’d call a blushing flower…
\nAs a matter of fact she rented by the hour.<\/p>\n

The day she died the neighbors Came to snicker:
\n“Well, that’s what comes from too much pills and liquor.”
\nBut when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
\nShe was the happiest… corpse… I’d ever seen.<\/p>\n

I think of Elsie to this very day.
\nI remember how she’d turn to me and say:
\n“What good is sitting all alone in you room?
\nCome hear the music play.
\nLife is a Cabaret, old chum,
\nCome to the Cabaret.<\/p>\n

And as for me, And as for me,
\nI made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
\nWhen I go, I’m going like Elsie.<\/p>\n

Start by admitting, From cradle to tomb
\nIt isn’t that a long a stay.
\nLife is a Cabaret, old chum,
\nIt’s only a Cabaret, old chum
\nAnd I love a Cabaret.<\/p>\n
