K-POP Lyrics Song

Patti PageCabaret

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 your horn
Start celebrating

Right this way
Your table's waiting
No use permitting
Some prophet of doom to wipe every smile away

Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret
I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared four sorbid 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 neighbours 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 turned 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

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
It's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love the cabaret
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 your horn
Start celebrating

Right this way
Your table's waiting
No use permitting
Some prophet of doom to wipe every smile away

Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret
I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared four sorbid 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 neighbours 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 turned 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

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
It's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love the cabaret
