● 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, 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! Oh, 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 not 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!
