    Lyrics what good is sitting 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.
    Come taste the wine,
    Come hear the band.
    Come blow a horn,
    Start celebrating;
    Right this way,
    Your table's waiting.

    No use permitting
    Some prophet of doom
    To wipe every smile away.
    Come hear the music play.
    Life is a cabaret, old chum,
    Come to the cabaret!

    I used to have a girlfriend
    Known as elsie,
    With whom i shared
    Four sordid rooms in chelsea
    She wasn't waht 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 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,
    I made my mind up, back in chelsea,
    When i go, i'm going like elsie.

    Start by admitting,
    From cradle to tomb
    Isn't that a long a stay.
    Life is a cabaret, old chum,
    Only a cabarert, old chum
    And i love a cabaret.

    Here you here! good luck
    Maria
