Geri Halliwell - Cabaret Lyrics

Send "Cabaret" ringtones to your cell

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 table’s 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 wasn’t waht you’d 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... 
I’d ever seen. 

I think of elsie to this very day. 
I remember how she’d 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 
Isn’t that a long a stay. 
Life is a cabaret, old chum, 
Only a cabarert, old chum 
And I love a cabaret.
