Song title: Liza Minnelli - Cabaret

Edit By: 216.73.216.51

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 every smile away.
 Come hear the music play.
 Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
 Come to the Cabaret!

I used to have a girlfriend
 Known as Elsie,
 With whom I shared
 Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
 She wasn't waht 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 alone
 In you 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,
 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 a long a stay.
 Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
 Only a Cabarert, old chum
 And I love a Cabaret.
