Cabaret

歌詞

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 Come hear the music play Life is a Cabaret, old chum So Come to the Cabaret! I used to have a girlfriend Known as Elsie With whom I shared A 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 a long a stay Life is a Cabaret, old chum It's only a Cabaret, old chum And I love a Cabaret
