What good is sitting alone in your room

But come hear the music play

Life is a cabaret old chum

Come to the cabaret

Put down your knitting your book and your broom

It is time for a holiday

Life is a cabaret old chum

Come to the cabaret

Come taste the wine

Come hear the band

Come blow that 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

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 hours

The day she died the neighbours

Came to snicker her

Well that is what comes from

Too much pills and liquor

But when I saw her laid down like a queen

She was the happiest corpes 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

And as for me

I made my mind up back in Chelsea

When I go I am going like Elsie

Start by admitting

From cradle to doom

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
