Cabaret (Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, September 11, 1966) 歌詞
What good is sitting alone
In you 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 a horn
Start celebrating
Right this way
Your tables waiting
No use permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret old chum
Come to the cabaret
I used to have a girlfriend
Known as elsie
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in chelsea
She wasnt waht youd call
A blushing flower
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour
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
Id ever seen
I think of elsie to this very day
I remember how shed turn to me and say：
What good is sitting alone
In you 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
And 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
Isnt that a long a stay
Life is a cabaret old chum
Only a cabarert old chum
And I love a cabaret
Here you here good luck
Maria
