Louis Armstrong - Cabaret Lyrics
Artist/band lisa minelliSong title cabaretAlbum cabaretSubmitted by merelyLyrics what good is sitting aloneIn 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 permittingSome prophet of doomTo wipe every smile away.Come hear the music play.Life is a cabaret, old chum,Come to the cabaret!I used to have a girlfriendKnown as elsie,With whom I sharedFour sordid rooms in chelseaShe wasnt waht youd callA blushing flower...As a matter of factShe rented by the hour.The day she died the neighborsCame to snicker:Well, thats what comesFrom 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 aloneIn 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, Im going like elsie.Start by admitting,From cradle to tombIsnt that a long a stay.Life is a cabaret, old chum,Only a cabarert, old chumAnd I love a cabaret.Here you here! good luckMaria
