Cabaret
Dee Snider

What good is sitting

Alone in your room?

Come hear the music play

Life is a cabaret, old chump

Come to the cabaret


Put down the knitting

The book and the broom

It's time for a holiday

Life is cabaret, old chump

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

Come hear the music play

Life is a cabaret, old chump

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 what 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 to 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'd remember how

She'd turn to me and say


What good is sitting

Alone in your room?

Come hear the music play

Life is a cabaret, old chump

Come to the cabaret


And as for me, I made up

My mind 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

Only a cabaret, old chum

And I love a cabaret
