riverdale cast - 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 a horn, start celebrating
right this way, your table’s waiting
what good’s permitting some prophet of doom
to wipe every smile away
life is a cabaret, old chum
so 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 all alone in you room?
come hear the music play
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret!”
and as for me, 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
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!
