Row, row, row your boat,gently down the streammerrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,life is but a dreamWhat good is sitting alone in your room?Come hear the music playLife is a cabaret, old chumCome to the cabaretPut down the knitting, the book and the broomIt's time for a holidayLife is a cabaret, old chumSo come to the cabaretCome taste the wineCome hear the bandCome blow that hornStart celebrating right this wayYour table's waitingWhat good's permitting some prophet of doomTo wipe every smile awayLife is a cabaret, old chumSo come to the cabaretI used to have this girlfriend known as ElsieWith whom I shared four sordid rooms in ChelseaShe wasn't what you'd call a blushing flowerAs a matter of fact she rented by the hourThe 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 QueenShe was the happiest corpse, I'd ever seenI think of Elsie to this very dayI remember how she'd turn to me and say"What good is sitting all alone in your room?Come hear the music playLife is a cabaret, old chumCome to the cabaretAnd as for meAnd as for meI made my mind up, back in ChelseaWhen I go, I'm going like ElsieStart by admitting from cradle to tombIsn't that long a stayLife is a cabaret, old chumIt's only a cabaret, old chumAnd I love a cabaret</blockquote>
