Cabaret - Liza Minnelli

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 your horn 
Start celebrating 
Right this way your table´s waiting. 

What good´s permmiting some prophet of doom? 
To wipe every smile away 
Life is a cabaret , old chum! 
So come to the cabaret! 

I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie 
With whom I shared for 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 neighbours 
came to snick her 
Well, that is 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 till this very day 
I remember how she´d turned to me and say, 
What good is sitting all alone in your room? 
Come hear the music play 
Life is a cabaret, old chum! 
Come to the cabaret! 

And as for me 
HA
And as for me 
I made my mind up back in Chelsea 
When I go.........
I'm going like Elsie. 

Star 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!
