Show Tunes - leucetios - 06-25-2004

Quote:what good is sitting alone
In you 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 a 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 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 waht 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 alone
In you 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.

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
Isn’t that a long a stay.
Life is a cabaret, old chum,
Only a cabarert, old chum
And I love a cabaret.

What's your fav show tune?

BTW, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes did a great cover of this

Quote:Get your bravery from a six pack
Get your bravery from a half-pint
Drink your whiskey, drink your grain
Bottoms up and you don't feel pain

Go out and fight, fight
Bottled violence

Lose control of your body
Beat the shit out of somebody
Half-shut eyes don't see who you hit
But you don't take any shit

Go out and fight, fight
Bottled violence

Does this count?

Show Tunes - SanDog - 06-25-2004

What show did they score?

Show Tunes - CodeWarrior - 06-25-2004

Depends on your definition of show. If you use the same one I do, they did a shitload in the 80s.
