All I can see is the sea and the sky
And the sky is blue and the sea is green
Yesterday's a cabaret
Gowns of satin on ladies gay
Yesterday's a cabaret
Sounds of laughter on faces gray
Yesterday's a carousel
Catch the ring and all will be well
From the coast of California
Up to the Oregon border
I've thumbed a thousand miles I guess
Sitting in a roadside diner
The big trucks rollin' by
I don't seem to know at times what's best
And still I'd like to tell her
That I miss her so, in north Ontario
If you're drivin' east to Reno
Or north to Mendocino
I hope you find your rainbow?s end
This highway is my rainbow
And though I might regret it
I'm so glad I said it way back when
And still I'd like to tell her
What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come here the music play
Life is the cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret
Put down the knitting , the book and the broom
Time for a holiday
Life is the cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret
Come test that wine
Come hear the band
Come blow the horn, start celebrating
Right this way your table's waiting
No use permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is the cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret
I used to have this girlfriend know as Elsie
with whom I shared fore sordid room in Chelsea
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower
as a matter of fact that she rented by the hour
The day she die the neighbours came to snicker
Well that's what come to much of pills and liquor
But when I saw her laid out like a queen
She was the happiest corpe I'd ever seen
I think of Elsie to this very day
I remember how she turn to me and say...
What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come to the music play
Life is the cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret
And as for me..ha
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
It isn't that long a stay
Life is the cabaret, old chum
It's only the cabaret, old chum
Music by 10,000 Maniacs - Lyrics by Mary Ramsey
Shards of glass cut through my gaze
broken streamers hanging at my legs
drunk and giddy full of fate
at the cabaret
smokey stares from the bar
do stray bottles tumble
I feel the misty spray
what a perfect, perfect day for the cabaret
from afar he sees
Venus rise overwhelmingly beautiful
he sighs the look of love was in her eyes
puts his hand upon her leg
looking closer his lust begins to fade
what a drag the queen did say.
could this be a dream I'm in? ( Fellini would be proud )
gluttony enfolds the scene
give them one last round ,
shining faces dance away
swinging skirts between the panted legs
kaleidescoping
then shassez in a blink the glasses fly
suddenly joy becomes a fight
there they tossed and turned a sight.
What good is sitting
Alone in your 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 your horn
Start celebrating
Right this way
Your table's waiting
No use permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret
Come blow your horn
Come hear the band
Yeah, start celebrating
Right this way
Your table's waiting

Life is a cabaret, old chum
It's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love a cabaret
I'm dreaming from a subway car, leaving my shoes for that seven story mountain
I can’t remember ever climbing anything
Because my fingers are snapping two years past now with nothing to show
I tried to go because I'm all bruised up searching for the road.
And what am I to look for?
How will I know when I find it?
In the country or the city?
I peep my head ‘round every building.
I’m making up for lost time now giving everything I own to the kids on my street.
And I can rest assured they need it so much more than me.
I can’t explain it, can’t explain it, but it feels like somebody lifted.
I can’t explain it but it feels like some weight is gone.
And could you use some help, sir?
I can’t offer you no money.
How ‘bout some strong advice, sir?
You can climb better than any other.
Sometimes I worry ‘bout my friends and their lives, they get me so overwhelming.
I seen their lives had passed, had passed just with one blink of an eye.
And making so sure they can’t leave me once and you’re leaving me two toned.
I can’t believe I let the things I hear inside this room.
And what am I to live for?
I can’t count on any other.
And things are running rather way past due and I can’t complain.
I know it's been a long time
Since I heard from you baby,
But Wasn't he the one who said he'd stay forever?
And you know it's been a long time
Since you walked beside your baby,
But wasn't he the one that said he'd keep you with the
good ones?
But now you're walking all alone,
In the streets you used to share,
So now you're walking all alone,
Wonder if you'll ever go home.
I know it's been a long time
Since you walked beside me baby,
And every single night you look for him underneath the
sheets.
And I know it's been a long time
Since you heard from your baby,
But Wasn't he the one who said he'd stay forever?
But now you're walking all alone,
In the streets you used to share,
So now you're walking all alone,
Wonder if you'll ever go home.
And you know it's been a long time
Since you walked beside your baby,
But wasn't he the one that said he'd keep you with the
good ones?
And I know it's been a long time
Since you heard from your baby,
But Wasn't he the one who said he'd stay forever?
But now you're walking all alone,
In the streets you used to share,
So now you're walking all alone,
Wonder if you'll ever go home.
Now you're walking all alone,
In the streets you used to share,
So now you're walking all alone,
What good is sitting alone in your room?

there’s really nothing new to this it’s nice to have
you with me as i go
a bumpy ride for sure but you can stand up there’s no
need for you to crawl
sang to the bourgeosise as you went and broke the
ladder
and left no way to get upstairs
doors were of a different kind
and led towards a cinematic meltdown
time to step outside and think of how and when to
change the key
there’s really nothing new to this besides i tend to do
things very slow
a battle between dark and light where nothing comes
from things without a soul
with little or nothing left it will keep on growing
stronger
the constant craving there for more
with the will to rhyme for better times
a silly song is slowly coming to a closeure
came with many minor chords in it and now it’s nearly

And you look thirty pounds

From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore.

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time, he'll stay
Maybe this time
For the first time
Love won't hurry away
He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time
And the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me;
'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime

You hesitate because you have never been married.
It frightens you. Believe me, it can work wonders...
How the world can change
It can change like that-
Due to one little word:
"married".
See a palace rise
From a two room flat
Due to one little word:
"Married".
And the old despair
That was often there
Suddenly ceases to be
For you wake one day,
Look around and say:
Somebody wonderful married me.

O wie wunderbar,

Wird auf einmal blau,
Wie noch kein blau jemals war.
Und dann steht man da,
Sagt beseligt'ja,
Heut'wird mein traum
Nicht so grau in grau.'

Herr Schultz. Can I beleive what I see?
But this is too much to accept.
It's so rare... so costly... so luxurious...
If you brought me diamonds,
If you brought me pearls,
If you brought me roses
Like some other gents
Might bring to other girls,
It couldn't please me more
Than the gift I see;
A pineapple for me.
[SCHULTZ]
If in your emotion
You begin to sway
Went to get some air
Or grabbed a chair
To keep from fainting dead away,
It couldn't please me more
Than to see you cling
To the pineapple I bring.
[BOTH]
Ah...
[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
I can hear Hawaiian breezes blow
[BOTH]
Ah...
[SCHULTZ]
It's from California
[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Even so.
How am I to thank you?
[SCHULTZ]
Kindly let it pass,
[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Would you like a slice?
[SCHULTZ]
That might be nice,
But frankly, it would give me gas.
[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Then we shall leave it here,
Not ot eat, but see:

A pineapple...
[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
For me.
[SCHULTZ]
From me.
[BOTH]
Ah...

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER (spoken)]
But you must not bring me any more pineapples.
Do you hear? It is not proper.
It is a gift a young man would bring to his lady-love.
it makes me blush.
[SCHULTZ (spoken)]
But there is no-one... no-one in all of Berlin who is
more deserving.
If I could, I would fill your entire room with pineapples!

For you,

From you.

[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER (spoken)]
I think I will lie down for a few moments. My head is
spinning!
[SCHULTZ]
Fraulein Schneider... good evening.
[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
Good evening, Herr Schultz.
(Opens her bedroom door, turns to Schultz.)
I am... overwhelmed!
[EMCEE]
And now, meine Damen und Herren... Mesdames et
Messieurs... Ladies and Gentlemen- The Kit Kat Klub
is proud to present a most talented young lady from
England. Yes- England! I give you- and don't forget
to give her back when you're finished with her- the
toast of Mayfair... Fraulein Sally Bowles!!
[SALLY]
Mama
Thinks I'm living in a convent,
A secluded little convent
In the southern part of France.
Mama
Doesn't even have an inkling
That I'm working in a Nightclub
In a pair of Lacy pants.
So please, sir.
If you run into my Mama,
Don't reveal my indiscretion,
Give a working girl a chance.
Hush up,
Don't tell Mama,
Shush up,
Don't tell Mama...
Don't tell Mama,
Whatever you do.
If you had a secret,
You bet I would keep it.
I would never tell on you.
I'm breaking every promise
That I gave her,
So won't you kindly do a girl
A great big favor?
And please, my sweet patater,
Keep this from the Mater,
Though my dance
Is not against the law.
You can tell my Papa, that's all right,
'Cause he comes in here every night,
But don't tell Mama what you saw!
[ALL]
Mama
Thinks I'm on a tour of Europe,
With a couple of my school chums
And a lady chaperone.
Mama
Doesn't even have an inling
That I left them all in Antwerp
And I'm touring on my own.
So please, Sir
If you run into my Mama
Don't reveal my indiscretion.
[SALLY]
Just leave well enough alone.
Hush up,
[ALL]
Don't tell Mama.
[SALLY]
Shush up,
[ALL]
Don't tell Mama;
Don't tell Mama
Whatever you do.
[SALLY]
If you had a secret,
You bet I would keep it.
[ALL]
I would never tell on you.
You wouldn't want to get me
In a pickle,
[SALLY]
And have her go and cut me off
Without a nickle.
[ALL]
So let's trust one another,
Keep this from my mother,
Though I'm still as pure as mountain snow.
[SALLY]
You can tell my Uncle
Here and now
'Cause he's my agent anyhow,
[KIT KAT GIRLS]
But don't tell Mama what you know.
[SALLY]
You can tell my brother,
That ain't grim
'Cause if her squeals on me
I'll squeal on him,
[ALL]
But don't tell Mama, bitte
Don't tell Mama, please, Sir.
Don't tell Mama, what you know.
[GIRLS]
Sssh!
Sssh!
[SALLY]
If you see my, Mummy,
[The Emcee plays a recording on a phonograph.]
[BOY SOPRANO]
The sun on the meadow is summery warm.
The stag in the forest runs free.
But gather together to greet the storm.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
The branch of the linden is leafy and green,
The Rhine gives its gold to the sea.
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen.
Tomorrow belongs to me.
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee.
But soon, says a whisper;
"Arise, arise,
Tomorrow belongs..."
[EMCEE (spoken)]
[FRAULEIN SCHNEIDER]
You say fifty marks. I say one hundred marks, a
[spoken in rythm]
difference of fifty marks-
Why should that stand in our way?
As long as the room gets let,
the fifty that I will get
is fifty more that I had yesterday,
When you're as old as I..
is anyone as old as I?-
What difference does it make?
An offer comes, you take.
[sings]
For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And learn how to settle
For what you get.
It will all go on if we're here or not
So who cares? So what?
So who cares? So what?
When I was a girl,
My summers were spent by the sea.
So what?
And I had a maid
Doing all of the house-work, not me.
So what?
Now I scrub all the floors
And I wash down the walls
And I empty the chamber pot.
If it ended that way,
Then it ended that way,
And I shrug and I say:
So what?
For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And learn how to settle
For what you get.
It will all go on if we're here or not
So who cares? So what?
So who cares? So what?
When I had a man,
My figure was dumpy and fat.
So what?
Through all of our years
He was so disappointed in that.
So what?
Now I have what he missed
And my figure is trim,
But he lies in a churchyard plot
If it wasn't to be
That he ever would see
The uncorseted me,
So what?
For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And learn how to settle
For what you get.
It will all go on if we're here or not
So who cares? So what?
So who cares? So what?
So once I was rich
And now all my fortune is gone,
So what?
And love disappeared
And only the memory lives on,
And so what?
If I've lived through all that
(And I've lived through all that)
Fifty marks doesn't mean a lot.
If I like that you're here
(And I like that you're here)
Happy New Year, my dear,
So what?
For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And learn how to settle
For what you get.
It will all go on if we're here or not
So who cares? So what?
So who cares? So what?
It all goes on.
So who cares? Who cares?

[SALLY (spoken)]
I think people are perfectly marvellous, I really do, Cliff.
Don't you? I don't think people should have to explain
anything. For example, if I should paint my fingernails green
and it just so happens I do paint them green, well, if anyone
should ask me why, I say: " I think it's pretty!" ("I think
it's pretty," I reply.) So, if anyone should ask about you
and me, you have two alternatives: you can either say,
"Oh, yes, it's true. We're living in delicious sin." Or
you can simple tell the truth, and say:
I met this perfectly marvellous girl
In this perfectly wonderful place
As I lifted a glass
To the start of a marvellous year.
Before I knew she called on the phone,
Inviting.
Next moment I was no longer alone,
But sat reciting
Some perfectly beautiful verse,
In my charming American style.
How I dazzled her senses
Was truly no less than a crime.
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
In my perfectly beautiful room
And we're living together
And having a marvellous time.
[CLIFF (spoken)]
Sally, I'm afraid this wouldn't work out. You're much
too distracting.
[SALLY (spoken)]
Distracting? No, inspiring!
She tell me perfectly marvellous tales
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
Which I'll probably use
As a chapter or two in my book.
And since my stay in Berlin was to force
Creation,
What luck to fall on a fabulous source
Of stimulation.
And perfectly marvellous, too,
Is her perfect agreement to be
Just as still as a mouse
When I'm giving my novel a whirl.
Yes, I've a highly agreeable life
In my perfectly beautiful room
With my nearly invisible,
Perfectly marvellous, girl.
[CLIFF (spoken)]
Sally- I just can't afford... Do you have any money?
[SALLY]
A few marks... Six!
[CLIFF]
Oh, God!
[SALLY]
Oh, please, Cliff- just for a day or two? Please!
[CLIFF]
I... met... this...
Truly remarkable girl
In this really incredible town,
And she skillfully managed
To talk her way in to my room.
[SALLY]
Oh, Cliff!
[CLIFF]
I have a terrible feeling I've said
A dumb thing.
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed.
[SALLY]
What good is sitting alone in your 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 Cabaret, old chum,
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
soem 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 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, thats 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'd she turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
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,
