Cabaret
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.
It's 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.
What good's permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
So Come to the Cabaret!
I used to have a girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
A 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 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
all alone in you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
And as for me,
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 a long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
It's only a Cabarert, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.
Don't Drop Bombs
You come back home, with a secret smile
A knowing look, and another lie
To blow my cool, and wreck my life
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive
When you've erupted, you're totally destructive
(Don't drop bombs)
I'd rather not have to hear about
Your other girls on your expense account
I know you carry on, behind my back
With your secretary, you'll have a heart attack
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive
When you've erupted, you're totally destructive
(Don't drop bombs)
(Baby!)
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs
Life with you is all ups and downs
And when you're up, you're off downtown
I've had enough!
(Baby!)
Don't tell me about your lack of restrictions
Guilty records and previous convictions
Or I shall start playing rough
(Baby!)
You're too corrupted, and totally destructive
When you've erupted, you're totally destructive
(Don't drop..)
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Just stay calm, baby, no more bombs
Don't drop bombs, baby, don't drop bombs
Just stay calm baby, no more bombs
I Want You Now
When the sun goes down
I open up my window for hours and I watch
Every passing stranger
Every early shadow, I wonder if it's you
Always I'm dreaming, and recklessly scheming
How to get you back in my life
I want you now
And I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how
I won't take no for an answer
Every empty evening
The sailors sit downstairs, drinking 'til they fight
Shout and raucous laughter
Sounds of breaking glass shatter through the night
The men from the circus are juggling with knives
The acrobats fall just like you
I want you now
And I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how
I won't take no for an answer
I won't take no for an answer
Now you're miles away
'Cross the sea, out of reach, unheard
I've cried to you for help
But the wind blows away all my words
You sat there once beside me
Where the actors play, you kissed me every night
When you left you promised
You'd soon be back to stay, and it would be alright
Now I'm abandoned, my letters unanswered
Got to get you back in my life
I want you now (I want you now)
And I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how (I've told you how)
I won't take no for an answer
I want you now (I want you now)
And I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how (I've told you how)
I won't take no for an answer
Losing My Mind
The sun comes up - I think about you
The coffee cup - I think about you
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends - I think about you
I talk to friends and think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind
All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right
I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind
Or am I losing
Losing my mind
All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right
I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind
Or am I losing my mind
Or am I losing my mind
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind
Or am I losing my mind
Or were you just being kind
Or am I losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Love Pains
(Love pains)
(Love pains)
(Love pains)
(Love pains)
Midnight
I watch you as you are sleeping
You don't know I'm leaving
My bags are packed to go
Oh, no, no, no
It hurts me
Hurts me so to leave you
Leave you for some one who
I hardly even know
But time has come to say goodbye
To spread my wings and fly
To feed the need I feel inside
But I keep feeling these love pains
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
(Love pains)
(Love pains)
Can't help
Can't help but remember
The love we had, so tender
A world so safe and sound
Oh, no, no, no,
His kiss, temptation so inviting
A feeling so exciting
Has turned me upside down
And though, I know I could be wrong
This feeling's much too strong
I've got to be where I belong
But I keep feeling these love pains
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Tearing me more apart
'Cause I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
(Love pains)
(Love pains)
Love pains
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Tearing me more apart
'Cause I don't wanna break your heart
Oh, will I ever be free from these love pains?
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh, will I ever be free of these love pains?
Tearing me more apart
'Cause I don't wanna break your heart
Maybe This Time
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
Well, all the odds are, they’re in my favor
Something’s bound to begin
It’s gotta happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I’ll win
Everybody, they love a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful
Lady happy
That’s what I long to be
Well, all the odds are, they’re in my favor
Something’s bound to begin
It’s gotta happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I’ll win
Mein Herr
You have to understand the way I am, mein Herr.
A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, mein Herr.
You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, mein Herr.
So I do, what I do. When I'm through, then I'm through.
And I'm through, toodle oo.
Bye bye mein lieber Herr, farewell mein lieber Herr.
It was a fine affair, but now it's over.
And though I used to care, I need the open air.
You're better off without me mein Herr.
Don't dab your eye, mein Herr, or wonder why mein Herr.
I've always said that I was a rover.
You mustn't knit your brow.
You should have known by now, You'd every cause to doubt me mein Herr.
The continent of Europe is so wide, mein Herr.
Not only up and down, but side to side, mein Herr.
I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, mein Herr.
But I do what I can, inch by inch, step by step, mile by mile.
Man by man.
Bye bye mein Herr.
Bye bye mein lieber Herr.
Auf wiedersehen, mein Herr.
Es war sehr gut, mein Herr, und vorbei.
Du kennst mich wohl, mein Herr.
Ach, lebe wohl, mein Herr.
Du sollst mich nie mehr sehen mein Herr.
Bye bye mein lieber Herr.
Farewell mein lieber Herr.
It was a fine affair, but now it's over.
And though I used to care, I need the open air.
You're better off without me.
You'll get on without me, mein Herr.
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home
Monday through Friday from 9 until 5
I bring him coffee and I type his letters
And I dial the number to tell his wife:
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
He said not to worry, just leave on the light
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
Just lock the door and be sure to tuck the kids in tight.
Monday through Friday from 5 until 9
I take my hair down and put on some music
And open a bottle of sweet red wine;
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
He said not to worry, just leave on the light
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
Just lock the door and be sure to tuck the kids in tight.
Saturday and Sunday I stay home alone
I lay around hoping that he'll call
Well, I wash my hair, play solitaire or read a book
And now and then I close my eyes
Trying to remember how he looks, whoah!
The lines were rehearsed when I called her today
But my part was over before I could speak she said,
"Hello, yes, I know you've called to say:"
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
He said not to worry, just leave on the light
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
Just lock the door and be sure to tuck the kids in tight.
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
He said not to worry, just leave on the light
Mr. Emery Won't Be Home 'til late tonight
Just lock the door...
Twist In My Sobriety
It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with a S,
'cause Lisa with a S goes S, not Z, huh
It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with a S,
'cause Lisa with a S goes S, not Z, huh
All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear (hi hi hi hi hi)
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning, when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think that I can be so willed
And never do what you say (hi hi hi hi hi)
And never do what you say
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
In my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
(Twist)
(Twist)
We just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile, and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts (Aah aah aah)
Different thoughts are good for me (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
In my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
(Twist)
(Twist)
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well (Oh yeah)
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell (Oh yeah)
News you have to sell (Oh yeah)
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
In my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
In my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
(Oh yeah)
It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with a S,
'cause Lisa with a S goes S, not Z, huh
(Twist)
(Oh yeah)
It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with a S,
'cause Lisa with a S goes S, not Z, huh
New York, New
Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it New York, New York.
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
and step around the heart of it New York, New York
I wanna wake up in that city, that doesn’t sleep,
to find I’m king of the hill top of the heap.
My little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it - in old New York
if I can make it there, I’d make it anywhere
it’s up to you - New York, New York
I wanna wake up, in that city that doesn’t sleep,
to find I’m king of the hill, head of the list
cream of the crop at the top of the list
My little town blues are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it, in old New York
if I can make it there, I’d make it anywhere
it’s up to you, New York New York
