Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2066916
Verse
What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

Chorus
Put down the knitting
The book and the broom
It's time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

Verse
Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow your horn, start celebrating
Right this way, your table's waiting

Verse
What good's permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away?
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret

Verse
I used to havе this girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared four solid rooms in Chеlsea
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour

Verse
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

Bridge
What good is sitting all alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

Chorus
Put down the knitting
The book and the broom
It's time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

Verse
And as for me
And as for me
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
When I go
I'm going like Elsie

Verse
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
It isn't that long a stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum
It's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love a ca-ba-ret
