Cabaret - Lisa Stokke

作曲：Fred Ebb/John Kander

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

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

No use 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

Life is a cabaret old chum

Come to the cabaret

Put down the knitting the book and the broom

Time for a holiday

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
