Cabaret Medley

(专辑： Liza With A "Z" - 1972)

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Fremde, etranger, stranger
Glücklich zu sehen, je suis enchante
Happy to see you, bleibe, reste, stay, wir sagen
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
In Cabaret, au Cabaret, to Cabaret

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
Und das grau in grau, wird auf einmal blau, wie noch kein blau jemals war
For you wake one day, look around and say
Somebody wonderful married me

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money

Money makes the world go around, the world go around
The world go around, money makes the go around
Of that we're really sure, on being poor

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money

When you haven't any coal in the stove and you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate
When you haven't any shoes on your feet, your coat's thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds underweight
When you go to get a word of advice from the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore
But when hunger comes a rap, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window
See our love flies out the door

Money makes the world go around, the world go around the world
Money makes the world go around, the clinking clanking sound of
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Get a little, get a little, money, money, money, money
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound, that clinking, clanking, clanking sound
Is all that makes the world go around, it makes the world go around

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 in my favor, something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen, happen sometime, maybe this time I'll win

'Cause everybody, oh, they love a winner, so nobody loved me
Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy, that's what I long to be
Well, all the odds are in my favor, something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime, maybe this time
Maybe this time I'll win

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
So 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
What good's permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret

I used to have this 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, 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 your 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
Isn't that long a stay?
Life is a cabaret, old chum
It's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love a cabaret
