Merely 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
