[00:11.84]What good is sitting alone in your room?
[00:16.72] Come hear the music play.
[00:21.07] Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
[00:25.53] Come to the Cabaret.
[00:30.11] Put down the knitting,
[00:32.08] The book and the broom.
[00:33.92] Time for a holiday.
[00:38.73] Life is Cabaret, old chum,
[00:43.24]Come to the Cabaret.
[00:46.86] Come taste the wine,
[00:48.84] Come hear the band.
[00:50.98] Come blow your horn,
[00:52.86] Start celebrating;
[00:54.34] Right this way,
[00:55.36] Your table's waiting
[00:56.50] No use permitting
[00:58.36] soem prophet of doom
[01:00.46] To wipe every smile away.
[01:05.44] Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
[01:08.71] Come to the Cabaret!
[01:16.00]I used to have a girlfriend
[01:18.02] known as Elsie
[01:20.43] With whom I shared
[01:21.58] Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
[01:24.79] She wasn't what you'd call
[01:26.54] A blushing flower...
[01:29.27] As a matter of fact
[01:30.45] She rented by the hour.
[01:33.80] The day she died the neighbors
[01:35.52] came to snicker:
[01:38.22] "Well, thats what comes
[01:39.35] from to much pills and liquor."
[01:41.94] But when I saw her laid out like a Queen
[01:50.14] She was the happiest...corpse...
[01:53.18] I'd ever seen.
[01:56.56] I think of Elsie to this very day.
[02:01.00] I'd remember how'd she turn to me and say:
[02:09.53] "What good is sitting alone in your room?
[02:15.03] Come hear the music play.
[02:22.62] Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
[02:29.64] Come to the Cabaret."
[02:35.53] And as for me,
[02:40.15] I made up my mind back in Chelsea,
[02:45.76] When I go, I'm going like Elsie.
[02:56.26] Start by admitting
[03:00.42] From cradle to tomb
[03:04.26] Isn't that long a stay.
[03:09.42] Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
[03:13.65] Only a Cabaret, old chum,
[03:17.84] And I love a Cabaret!
