susan egan - cabaret lyrics
[verse 1]
what good is sitting alone in your room?
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
time for a holiday
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
[bridge]
come taste the wine
come hear the band
come blow a h+rn, start celebrating
right this way, your table’s waiting
[verse 3]
no use permitting some prophet of doom
to wipe every smile away
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
[interlude]
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 of 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 alone in your room?
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
time for a holiday
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret
[bridge]
and as for me, 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
isn’t that long a stay
life is a cabaret, old chum
only a cabaret, old chum
and i love a cabaret!
