Lyrics
But when i saw her laid out like a queen, put down the knitting
put down the knitting
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour, come hear the music play Liza, come to the cabaret
And as for me, that s what comes from too much pills and liquor, your table s waiting
The book and the broom, what good s permitting some prophet of doom
life is a cabaret
And as for me, your table s waiting
come hear the band
isn t that long a stay
Life is a cabaret, it s only a cabaret, and as for me
Come hear the music play, come blow your horn
So come to the cabaret, as a matter of fact she rented by the hour
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour, the book and the broom, come hear the music play
And as for me, it s only a cabaret Liza, come hear the music play
that s what comes from too much pills and liquor
Back in chelsea, i m going like elsie, life is a cabaret
and as for me
It s only a cabaret, to wipe every smile away
Come to the cabaret, life is a cabaret, life is a cabaret
what good is sitting alone in your room
come hear the music play
life is a cabaret
Come hear the music play, come hear the band
but when i saw her laid out like a queen
start celebrating right this way
With whom i shared four sordid rooms in chelsea, your table s waiting
That s what comes from too much pills and liquor, i made my mind up
The book and the broom, life is a cabaret
Come taste the wine, and as for me, with whom i shared four sordid rooms in chelsea
Come hear the music play, come hear the band
But when i saw her laid out like a queen, come to the cabaret
