- "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.
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 Cabaret, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.

I believe that, with this performance, Liza Minelli stepped out of her mothers shadow and proved that she was an artist that didn't need a famous mother, and that she was a singularly unique talent
Wrong, she had stepped from her mother's shadow for there was no shadow. She did great for years on her own.
I agree that she was a totally diffrent talent from her parents. I mean lots of people dont even know she's Judy's daughter. But You can totally hear Judy's voice in hers :) So I think genetically and enviromentallly she was handed a great gift but her career was in no way handed to her
She inherited some great genetics (except for the alcoholism). Wonderful talent!
Liza minnelli was more of a Broadway Singer ,than her mother
Judy Garland was more of a movie star
@@juliereminiec4937 LIza Minelli made a lot of movies in the '70s and '80s.
@@annemccarron2281 Alchoholism isn't genetic!
How could they NOT know she was JG's daughter? ( unless "they" are teenagers! )
“Start by admitting from cradle to doom, it isnt that long a stay”. Liza, you are magnificent
The lyric is “cradle to tomb.”
@@MNBluestaterYes tomb
Cradle to TOMB
She won the Oscar best actress award starting at 2:18. It’s so richly layered with subtle emotional shades, but at the same tiMe masking her sadness and loneliness
Agree she wants to cry and nearly does singing what Elsie told her about life in the Cabaret but is defiant❤
I know this pales in comparison to her emotional range but her style became such an inspiration, the make up, the hair, the attitude became timeless.
It was a movie, not on her real life that was enriched greatly by this time, 1972. LOL!
Liza's performance here is PERFECTION. A master class on how it ought to be done. Brilliant. A classic for eternity.
Concordo
She's SO beautiful in this film. She has absolutely gorgeous eyes!
Lemon Drops My ex looked a lot like her. Those eyes!
+Lemon Drops She sure does - a wonderful actress, singer and well.... you name it.
Sarcastic Sugar she has her mother's eyes.
No Liza's Italian eyes !!came from Minnelli..!! The same as her nose!! f
I’d go straight for liza
She endured a tragic situation with her mother and became her own identity with Cabaret. Two legends with two different stories. Amazing!
Look at the glow in her eyes when she says "I'm going like Elsie".... simply spetacular!!! Amazing performance!
You can really feel she`s singing about her mum, and she fucking nails it!!!!
+Marie Adams Yes the line "That's what comes with too much pills and liqueur." Must have reminded her of her mother.
Stop reading Judy into this. Elsie is not like Judy. Judy not a call girl and didn't die of pills and booze she incautiously died from sleeping meds.this is not exactly the same thing!!!
@@markwhitman9029 Some would argue that sleeping meds count as "pills". And those were the least bad pills which Judy was forced to consume by producers, directors, and her own mother. A tragic story, no matter how famous her movie performances are.
@@markwhitman9029you’re misunderstanding the post. They don’t mean this song is specifically about Judy but it’s clear Liza is drawing upon real life experiences she’s had with her mother as inspiration for her emotions during certain lines
Truly her mothers daughter, she looked and sounded much like Judy here - simply amazing.
Liza was just 26 years old when this movie came out. And she pretty much carried the show. Like mama, what an amazing talent...
Liza was dazzling but Joel Grey wasn't exactly chopped liver!
Her back must really hurt
It won eight Oscars, including Bob Fosse for best director. She was singularly great at acting out his vision
this song is very personal to liza...especially when she uttered "i made my mind back in chelsea," in reference to her mom's death. at the middle of the song, she also referred to how her mom died..."in pills & liquor, but she was the most beautiful corpse i've ever seen..." no one could have done it as better and personal as liza did. terrific & emotional performance, one of a kind. oscar well-deserved.
2:00 the happiest corpse...
You are reading Judy into her performance with Elsie and not necessarily. Judy was NOT a call girl like Elsie and didn't die from too much pills and liquor but an incautious overdose.it looks as if they meant Liza to be singing about Judy but far from truth! Like Elsie Sally was going to live the rest of her on her own terms.Incidentally Liza is brilliant in this song! Look at glistening tears when she talk sings the line "Life is a.... Cabaret old chum! Then with arm out and fingers wiggling " come to the Cabaret " just heartbreaking. She deserved that Oscar
The song has nothing to do with her mother, Judy. The lyrics were written by Fred Ebb with composer John Kander for the 1966 musical Cabaret, based on the play "I Am A Camera" which in turn was adapted from "Goodbye To Berlin" by Christopher Isherwood.
The happiest corpse I've ever seen. That line has stuck with me for decades......kinda morbid but oh well.
Great movie. Liza is awesome! She brilliantly conveys the loneliness and desperation of the character, Sally Bowles, in the second half of the song. And the ending of the movie after this scene is downright chilling.
Liza Minelli was so good in this movie. She acted and sang so beautifully. She so deserved the Oscar over Diana Ross for Lady Sings The Blues. They say that even Liza thought Diana was going to win. Liza was brilliant. Thanks for the post.
My Mum died on the 4 th Aug and this was the last song at her funeral and I wasn't walking out till it had played ,, Everyone loved it and yes Mum you went in style and just like Elsie ,love you :) x
*****
Sorry For Your loss
Thanks that's really kind and sweet of you this is a hard time as its her birthday this Sunday so your words mean a lot x
Thanks Its her birthday this Sunday so your kindness came at a just the right time x
😀
The look in her eyes at 1:44 is so profound. It's like she's caught up in the moment.
Hard to top this performance. Perfect photography, music, voice, and so on. Wow.
I get goosebumps every time I watch/listen to this, she really gives everything she's got and she has A LOT! A lot of talent, heart, she just owns everything around her when she is performing, amazing.
Immortal. Iconic. Legendary.
Unreal. This woman is unreal.
Fantastic and unforgotten she is a Queen !
ich mag ihre songs
I think this is my all time favourite musical number. Liza Minnelli is so completely awesome in this. ❤
i love how this song is so happy yet so sad and dark at the same time. Just goes to show happiness isn't all its cracked up to be.
2021 still rocking out to this. One of my all time favs. I remember watching this as a teenager in like '03 and being blown away. going out like Elsie everyday!!!! 😁
I saw it in the theater in 1972! I was 20. Same year The Godfather came out.
What an amazing talent.
there will never be another liza.. shes in a league of her own..bravo liza
One of THe best ever show tunes thank you so much Liza
Thank you John Kander and Fred Ebb. And Ralph Burns.
On it's own this song is great. After watching the beginning of the film/show it's so moving and sad, I cried when I went to see it last night.
This song and performance is timeless and forever a profound lesson for our lives.
This was fantastic. I saw a show where they mentioned that Elvis told Judy that she was the best entertainer in the world, and we see here the apple doesen't fall far from the tree. Great performance by Liza.
This is one of my favorite songs in musical movies and I have seen the whole thing but I think mama Judy would be so proud of the little girl.
This is an astounding performance. The screen crackles with energy from Liza. I really enjoyed the whole movie, truly inspiring!
I just adore this song and Liza pulls it off so nicely!
I was at work today and I thought of this song and was singing it in my head and now it's put me in an even better mood! Fantastic Miss Sally Bowles! AKA Liza Minelli
A classic song and singer and dancer!!!
Love all she does...
Just her face alone right before the lights go on and she steps out onto the stage. I totally agree with you. Excellent scene, excellent performance.
Liza Minelli fyllde 70 år igår. Respekt!!! Sally Bowles forever.
liza was and still is an amazing talent!!!
She's incredible oh my goodness her voice is like angels! She's got a great talent
Finally saw this film earlier this week for the first time ... it was great! Liza sang, danced, and acted her butt off in this movie, and I'm so glad the Oscars awarded her in '72.
Still such a classic song from 1972. I still enjoy it!
One of the greatest movie moments.
Perfect song! Perfect singer! Perfect acting!
Simply perfect!
What I love about this, is that when the first time I saw it when I was younger, I just didn't get this song. I didn't get why everyone thought that it was so Amazing. And then I saw the film. And I was crying as she was singing because I thought that it was such a beautiful performance. xx
Liza, such a talented, beautiful woman!
ive just recently discovered this movie and fell in love with it. this song has become my motto, the part where she talks about elsie always gives me goosebumps.
not crazy about musicals but i have watched this one a dozen times
This is amazing! Could listen to this all the time! Liza is pure talent!
Liza is a perfect mix of her father and mother I think! As she has grown older, she's looking more like Judy I think, when younger, her Father.
Epic performance in every possible way. Never seen anything like it in musical, done by a lady.....
Yes, Judy was one of the greats. So was Liza. From Sally Bowles through Lucille 2, she was phenomenal.
The beautiful liza! Magical
It may have been her finest hour, but what an hour! Even her mother couldn't have done a better job! 😊
You are absolutely right. I think this dear woman becomes more like her tragic mother as she got older. She has a voice like no other. She is, I think, a tremendous artist in a tremendous film. Thank whoever for downloading this. Liza won the Oscar, deservedly so, in this fine and unforgettable performance. Your comments are thoughtful and right on. Cheers
I remember my mom making my sister and I come inside to watch this film. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Liz's voice makes me lay on the floor, she is that good.
This film is also a reminder of what we didn't do, as Americans, to help the Jews, and the Catholics, and the queers.
We were slaughtered
Great singer, great movie too.. Liza played the part of that era to a T... She was awesome, so was Joel Grey
i'm singing this for my schools talent show tomorrow night :D i love liza's voice
Each time I watch time I get more and more impressed about her interpretation. And emtioned as well. Simply beautifull!
taken in the context of the whole film and the story this is one of the most powerful and saddest moments in film history
all wrapped into a brilliant song and a brilliant performance
I was 16 when I first saw this and it never loses that power and magic
...the awkward moment when you discover people and their talent this late in life....
by far.... Maybe this time....gotta blast that shit... lol :)
Berlin was wonderful. My brothers stayed for the Cabaret. I correctly saw what came next. I left. They stayed and perished. This movie tells the story for many who were lost and are now remembered by those of us who survived
This is an amazing number from a great musical with a great performance from Minnelli, outstanding direction and choreography from Fosse (his best film) and brilliant editing. Joel Grey's pretty damn good too!
Cabaret is one of the best musicals, its songs are truly masterpieces.
I would rank her performance among the greatest in any movie I’ve seen
I adore this song, and I love Liza. She is seriously one of the greatest entertainers ever. You can just tell she loves what she does and she puts her heart into it. She was totally into that song while she was performing it.
This performance actually makes me so emotional.. Performing this for my Musical Theatre Diploma tonight. Hope I give the examiner the goosebumps i get from listening to Liza
best musical of the 70's. far deserving of best actress over d ross and m smith. unforgettable.
I love Liza in this performance as Sally Bowles. There is certain scenes where I forget I'm watching Liza and all I can see is Judy. Even in the singing, the movement on stage and the hand gestures I can see Judy. Liza in her own right is a legend thanks to this picture but her mother was something very special. But both including Lorna are all very talented and all are legends in their own way
Unica, en todo sentido.
La sigo hace mucho tiempo, divina❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song! So much truth in the lyrics. It inspires me to go out and live life and puts me in a great mood.
Liza's acting is superb in this movie! I wish people would stop comparing her to her mom!
Gosh, it's amazing how Liza is as beautiful and as talented as her mum Judy! They are so alike!! I'm 17 and theyre both my idols!!
no matter what you may say about her, she was a trouper and an absolute performer and i will always be a loving fan.
Her musical styling and the way she performs is very alike with her mom I love it
This is one of the all-time Great Performances. Extraordinary!! Perfection!
"Cabaret" was a fabulous musical and such awesome numbers came from that show; Thank you for posting this.
now this is a song to live by!!
I love the film version of this musical, and I love this performance, but I do think that the song means more in it's proper place in the musical, as Sally's breaking down, as it just seems so much more real. Here it is too happy. Sally is still naive here.
Life is a cabaret! Grande Liza Minnelli.
I love you ❤️Liza, this song embodies the perfect philosophy for living a happy life
Emily Dickinson said "that it will never come again is what makes life so sweet" I agree and this song is saying do what makes you happy as Elsie did and enjoy!!
É a explosão da alegria transmitida por essa musica que contagia a alma boemia!
I saw Liza perform live in Cleveland Ohio back in the early Summer of 73! She brought down the house! It was only ten dollars per ticket. Went with my older brother Dan. Great entertainer and singer!
Liza Minelli is just amazing!
This is just brilliant.
She is the only person in the whole world who should ever sing this song.
love it love it love it
