1
What good is sitting, alone in your room?
2
Come hear the music play!
3
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
4
Come to the cabaret!
5
Put down the knitting, the book and the broom
6
It's time for a holiday
7
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
8
Come to the cabaret!
9
Come taste the wine
10
Come hear the band
11
Come blow your horn
12
Start celebrating
13
Right this way your table's waiting.
14
What good's permitting some prophet of doom?
15
To wipe every smile away
16
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
17
So come to the cabaret!
18
I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
19
With whom I shared for sordid rooms in Chelsea
20
She wasn't what you call a blushing flower
21
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour.
22
The day she died the neighbors
23
Came to snick her
24
Well, that is what comes from
25
Too much pills and liquor.
26
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
27
She was the happiest corpse I'd ever seen
28
I think of Elsie till this very day
29
I remember how she'd turned to me and say,
30
What good is sitting all alone in your room?
31
Come hear the music play
32
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
33
Come to the cabaret!
34
And as for me
35
Ha
36
And as for me
37
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
38
When I go
39
I'm going like Elsie.
40
Star by admitting
41
From cradle to tomb
42
It isn't that long a stay
43
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
44
It's only a cabaret, old chum!
45
And I love a cabaret!
