16
I used to have a girlfriend Known as Elsie,
17
With whom I shared A four sordid rooms in Chelsea
18
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower
19
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour.
20
The day she died the neighbors came to snicker:
21
Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liquor.
22
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
23
She was the happiest, corpse, I'd ever seen.
24
I think of Elsie to this very day.
25
I remember how she'd turn to me and say:
26
What good is sitting all alone in you room?
27
Come hear the music play.
28
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
29
Come to the Cabaret.
30
And as for me, and as for me,
31
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
32
When I go, I'm going like Elsie.
33
Start by admitting, From cradle to tomb
34
It isn't that a long a stay.
35
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
36
It's only a Cabaret, old chum
37
And I love a Cabaret
