what good is sitting alone in your room?

Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.

i couldn't find a video of liza minelli singing her signature song, liza with a z, but it might be better not to use it. she is probably better known for many others, especially from the movie cabaret. in cabaret there is really too much from which to choose. she was really great in all of the music in the movie.

but, finally, i would be remiss if i didn't post the title song, and finale in the movie, from cabaret. last week was liza's 60th birthday. she was born four days after i was.

happy birthday, liza...



and my favorite part of the lyric -

I used to have a 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, thats what comes
from to much pills and liquor."

But when I saw her laid out like a Queen
She was the happiest...corpse...
I'd ever seen.
