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 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,
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 neighbours
Came to snicker:
"Well, that's what comes
From too much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid down 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, ah, 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 Cabaret, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.

And you freeze in the winter
And you curse on the wind
At your fate
When you haven't any shoes
On your feet
And 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...
At the window...
Who's there?
Hunger!
Ooh, hunger!
See how love flies out the door...

Are you okay, old friend
Are we, uh, are we unique

Damn few
Old friends

New York, New York
Start spreading the news

I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And make a brand new start of it
New York, New York
I wanna wake up in the city
that doesn’t sleep
to find the king of the hill
top of the heap
These 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’ll make it anywhere
Its up to you
new york, new york
New York, New York.
I want to wake up
in the city that doesn’t sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill
top of the heap
Crème of the crop and the 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'll make it anywhere,
Come on, Come though
New York, New York.
Bye Bye Blackbird
Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go swingin' low
Bye, bye, black-bird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go swingin' low
Bye (bye), bye (bye) blackbird (duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo-duoo)
Where somebody waits for me

Blackbirrrrd, bye bye
Liza Minnelli
Some People
Some people can get a thrill, knitting sweaters and sitting still
That's okay for some people don't know they're alive
Some people can thrive and bloom, living life in a living room
That's perfect for some people of one hundred and five
But I... at least gotta try
When I think of all the sights that I gotta see
And all the places I gotta play, All the things that I gotta be at
Come on papa, what'd'ya say?
Some people can be content, playin' bingo and payin' rent
That's livin' for some people, for some hum-drum people - to-oo be
But some people - ain't me
I had a dream, a wonderful dream, papa
All about June in the Orpheum circuit
Give me a chance, I know I can work it, Uhh, what a dream
And it was just as real as could be, papa
Well just listen to me, there I was in Mr Orpheum's office
And he was sayin' to me - Rose!
Get yourself some new orchestrations, new routines and red velvet curtains
Get a feathered hat for the baby, photographed in front of the theatre
Get an agent and in jig time, you'll be bein' booked in the big time
Oh what a dream, a wonderful dream, papa
And all that I need is eighty-eight bucks, Papa, that's it
That's what he said papa, only eighty-eight bucks, papa
It's uh, yeah, but it's only eighty-eight bucks
It's not like I'm askin' for a second mortgage on this place
What d'ya gettin so crick, why you gettin' crazy, it's eighty-eight lousy bucks
What do you mean I ain't gettin' eighty-eight cents outta you
Well, I'll get it, and I'll get my kids - OUT - NOW
Goodbye, to blueberry pies, good ridance to all the socials I had to go to
All the lodges that I had to play, all the shriners I said hell.
The Man I Love
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
and though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I will meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still, I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
We'll build a little home
Just ment for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreamin' of
The man I love.
All That Jazz
Come on babe, why don't we paint the town, and all that Jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockin's down
And all that Jazz
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold but the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall, where there's a nightly brawl
And all - a-that - Ja-yazz
Slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes, and all that jazz
I hear that Father Dip is gonna blow the blues, and all that jazz
Hold on hon, we're gonna bunny-hug
I bought some aspirin down at United Drug
In case we shake apart and want a brand new start
To do - a-that - Ja-yazz
Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy-shake, and all that jazz
Oh, I'm gonna shimmy till my garters break, and all that jazz
Show me where to park my girdle, oh, my mother's blood'd curdle
If she'd hear her baby's queer
For all - that - Ja-yazz
Find the flask we're playin' fast and loose
(Oh, you're gonna see a shiver-shimmy-shake)
And all that jazz, and all that jazz
Right up here is where I store the juice
(Oh I'm gonna shimmy till my garters break)
And all that jazz, and all that jazz
Come on babe we're gonna brush the sky
(Show me where to park my girdle)
I bet you lucky Lindy never flew so high
(Oh, my mother's blood'd girdle)
'Cause in the stratosphere, how could he lend an ear
(If she'd hear her baby's queer)
To all that ja-yazz
No I'm no-one's wife, but oh I love my life
And all... that... Ja-yazz..., that Jazz
So Sorry I Said
If this is a ghetto, I'm in it with you
If it's just a prison, I'm locked in it too
I tried to leave you, but after all that we had said
I went to pieces when I should have shouted and screamed
instead:
So sorry, I said
Your powers of persuasion, those quizzical eyes
Have tired and tied me, with innocent guile
I would have walked out, and after all the tears we shed
I should have stalked out, gone and painted the town bright
red
But instead
So sorry, I said
How tough it gets, don't talk to me about it!
To pay off your debts, I worked on overtime
And you say you never believed in luck
If you need a reason, consider me mad
An old retainer, loyal and sad
I bought my freedom, but after all that we had shared
I couldn't leave you think of the skins I'd have to shed
instead
So sorry, I said
So sorry, I said
So sorry, I said
It Was A Good Time
It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever
We would stay together and share the laughter
With never ever a morning after
It was a good time, it was the best time
It seemed a short time, but such a good time
Since you're gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some time deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when
It was a good time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time
And we believed that it would last forever
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, early in the morning
Mama wakes up and she's alone
She's alone, she's alone
Mama wakes up and she's alone, early in the morning
... Falling down ... Lon ... My fair lady
Yes she looks a lot like him, yes she does, but, yes
My fair lady
Baby, baby Bunting, daddy's gone a-hunting
Daddy's gone!
... Dor-mei-vous, dor-mei-vous
Mama will stay near you, mama will be near you
Not your dad, that's too bad!
Good - bye - good - and I believed - ah-hah
Since you've gone and won't be mine again
There are many stars that will not shine again
Except some times deep in my reverie
You return and then I remember when
It - was - a - good - time, it was the best time
It was a party, just to be near you
It was a good time, it was the best time...

My Mammy
Everything seems lovely
When you start to roam
But here's what you'll be sayin'
When you are far from home
Ma-a-ammy, Ma-a-ammy
The sun shi-ines east
The sun shines west
I know where the sun shines best
Oh my Mammy, my Ma-a-ammy
My heart strings a tangle around
Alaba-a-ba-ammy
I'm comin'
Sorry that I made you wait
I-I-I'm-ma-ma-comin'
I hope and pray I'm not too late
Oh my Ma-a-mmy
My little Ma-a-ammy
I'd walk a million miles
For one of those smiles
My Mammy
Ma-a-ammy, yeah-eah-eah, Ma-a-ammy
Woh-woh, the sun shines east
The sun shines west
But I know where the sun shines best
Oh Mammy
My little Ma-a-ammy
I'd walk a million miles
For one of those smiles
My Ma-Ma-a-a-a...-a-ammy
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
I Gotcha
I gotcha, ahh-ha-hah
You thought I didn't see ya
Now, didn't ya, ahh-ha-hah
You tried to sneak by me now
Didn't ya, ahh-ha-hah
Now give me what you promised to me
Give it to me, come on
You promised me the day
That you quit your girlfriend
That I'd be the next one
To move on i-in
You promised me
It would be just us two
And I'd be the only one
Kissin' on you-ou
Now kiss me
Hold it a long time, hold it
Oh don't turn me loose now
Hold it, a little bit longer
Now hold it, come on hold it
Hold it, hold it, hold it
Don't be greedy now, get back
You made me a promise
And you're gonna stick to it
You should'na promised
If you wasn't gonna do it
You saw me and ran
In another direction
I'll teach you to play
With my affection
Now give it here
You never shoulda promised to me
Give it here
Don't hold back now, give it here
Don't say nothin'
Just give it here, come on
Give it, give it, give it, give it
Come on, give it to me
Wow!
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 of 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
Teach Me Tonight
Did you say I've got a lot to learn?
Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
1000 times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight
Teach me tonight.
Copacabana
Her name was lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa.... they fell in love
His name was rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw lola dancing there
And when she finished,he called her over
But rico went a bit to far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa.... they fell in love
Copa, Copacabana
Copacabana
Her name is lola, she was a showgirl,
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it’s a disco, but not for lola,
Still in dress she used to wear,
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined,and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her tony
Now she’s lost her mind
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa
Don´t fall in love
