Und now
Once again
Fraulein
Sally Bowles
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 a horn
Start celebrating
Right this way
Your table's
Waiting
No use permitting
Some prophet
Of doom
To wipe ev'ry
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
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 of
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 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
And as for me
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 long
A stay
Life is a Cabaret
Old chum
Only a Cabaret
Old chum
And I love
A Cabaret
