me first and the gimme gimmes – cabaret lyrics
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
it’s time for a holiday
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
come taste the wine, come hear the band
come blow that h-rn, start celebrating
right this way
your table’s waiting
no use permitting some prophet of doom
to wipe every smile away
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 what you 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 of too much pills and liquor
but when i saw her laid up like a queen
she was the happiest corpse i’d ever seen
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
ain’t such a long, long stay
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
what good is sitting alone in your room?
come hear the music play
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the caba, call me a caba, i love a cabaret!!!
