me first the gimme gimmes – cabaret lyrics
what good is sitting
alone in you room?
come here 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 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’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 here 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 as for me
i made my mind up, back in chelsea
when i go, i’m goin’ like elsie
start by admitting from cradle to tomb
isn’t that long a stay
life is a cabaret, old chum
only a cabaret, old chum
and i love a cabaret
