Cabaret Soundtrack - "Cabaret" lyrics

M.C.: Meine Damen und Herren, Madames et Messieurs, Und now, once again, Frulein Sally Bowls! Ladies and Gentlemen, What good is sittin' alone in your room SALLY BOWLES: Come hear the music play, Life is a cabaret old chum Come to the cabaret. Put down that knittin', the book and the broom Time for a holiday, Life is a cabaret old chum Come to the cabaret. Come blow your horn, start celebratin' Come taste the wine, come hear that band No use permittin' a prophet of doom Right this way, your table's waitin' Wipe every smile away, yes Life is a cabaret old chum Come to the cabaret! I used to have a girl friend known as Elsie She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower As a matter of fact she rented by the hour With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea The day she died the neighbors came to sneaker Well, that's what comes of too much pills and licqueur But when I saw her laid down like a queen She was the happiest corpse I'd ever seen I remember how she turned to me and said: What good is sittin' alone in your room I think of Elsie to this very day, Come hear the music play, Life is a cabaret old chum Life is a cabaret, old chum Come to the cabaret Put down that knittin', the book and the broom Time for a holiday, So come to the cabaret. As for me, And as for me, When I go, I'm going like Elsie, I made my up back in Chelsea Start by admitting go cradle to tumb Isn't that a longer stay What good is sittin' alone in your room Come hear the music play, yes Life is a cabaret old chum It's only a cabaret old chum And I love a cabaret! Yes, life is a cabaret old chum Only a cabaret old chum So come to the cabaret
