Stepping Out — текст песни (me first and the gimme gimmes)

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 that 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

I used to have a girlfriend known as Elsie
With whom I shared for sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn`t what you call a blushing flower
As a matter of fact she rented by the hour

The day she dies the neighbors came to snick her
Well that`s what comes of too much pills and liquor
But when I saw her laid up like a quee
She was the happiest corpes I`d ever seen

And as for me
As for me
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
When I go I`m going like Elsie

Stop by admitting from cradle to doom
It`s such a long, long smile
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

What good is sitting alone in your room?
Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret

Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the caba, come in the caba, I love a cabaret!!!
