liza minnelli - cabaret (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
what good is sitting alone in your room?
oh, come hear the music play
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret

[verse 2]
put down the knitting, the book and the broom
it’s time for a holiday
life is a cabaret, old chum
so come to the cabaret

[bridge]
come taste the wine
come hear the band
come blow that h+rn, start celebrating
right this way, your table’s waiting

[verse 3]
what good’s permitting some prophet of doom
to wipe every smile away?
life is a cabaret, old chum
so come to the cabaret!

[interlude]
i used to havе this girlfriend known as elsie
with whom i shared four sordid rooms in chеlsea
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:
[verse 1]
“what good is sitting all alone in your room?
come hear the music play
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret”

[bridge]
and as for me, ha!
and as for me
i made my mind up back in chelsea
when i go
i’m going like elsie

[verse 4]
start by admitting from cradle to tomb
it isn’t that long a stay
life is a cabaret, old chum
it’s only a cabaret, old chum
and i love a cabaret!
