You may have seen cabaret before but not like this It harkens back to olden days but with a twist So leave behind your preconceptions – Leave behind the kids And get yourself on over to The witty tittiest Hot old biddiest Come get shittiest Oh say can you see Anything more American than ZEE CABARET Shut off your TV set tonight Don’t bother putting up a fight Get more than afternoon delight At the Cabaret Girls: Go out and get your favorite fag Get dressed up in some fancy drag Emancipate your best old bag From the home tonight And now you’ve got yourself a drink Lift them all ‘round and clinky-clink Go blow your nose so you can think At the show tonight All: Come on out and play / At the Bent Wit Cabaret Let us show you all the way / At the Bent Wit Cabaret Someone might just give you gay Get your cats neutered and spayed Nuns and bishops come to pray Strap on your strap-on on today Jewish mothers say oy vey God I hope we all get paid! More than just ok Drink your cares away Bring a date - get laid! Bent Wit Cabaret!

[setting: an abortion clinic. protesters are outside with signs, shouting. one protester slips inside the clinic. she stashes her sign behind a plant and walks to the receptionist area. she confirms an appointment and sits in the waiting area, looking around at the other women there. I'm Different (Karin:) This one’s a tramp, this one’s a whore These women are loose and they’re probably poor uneducated, no morality not one of them anything like me… I’m different Unlike these other girls I come from a good home No sins to be atoned I’m different It’s just my circumstance that brings me here today For me it is okay but abortion is murder and murderers must pay (Doctor enters and sings:) I love aborting babies It’s what I was born to do And if you were a baby I’d try to abort you (Sugar Dish / Receptionist:) I get employee benefits, every tenth one's free (Robyn:) I'm not even pregnant, abortion's fun for me (Lainey:) Back in the day I was on the streets, we would dumpster dive behind this very clinic, eating babies to stay alive (All except Karin): but... she's different unlike us she has got real reasons to be here a moral pioneer she's different and she's pro life because the unborn have no voice (Karin:) i didn't have a choice my predicament has led me here (Lainey:) and so has screwing boys (Karin:) They’re killing babies and there’s nothing more perverse! (All but Karin:) No doubt about it, we’re all murder - ers! (Karin:) It would be better if somebody killed you first! (All:) somebody kill us somebody kill us somebody kill us first!

on my knees part of this machine i can feel it's forsaken me in our creed we'd heed the call now it seems as though we might just fall I've never gone astray through it all I've still kept the faith though I know I must go today there's one thing in my way who am I now? I could just be myself if only I knew how... out into the wild, outside of the tribe I could be anyone at all on my knees i have come to pray for i can see we have lost our way together we have yesterday but now i see there we cannot stay so it's time that I leave the fold through the door out into the cold and I'm even prepared to go but there's something I must know: who am I now? I could just be myself if only I knew how... out into the wild, outside of the tribe I could be anyone at all who am i now? who am i now? who am i now?

on the desk of the business man or the books you read on the can everywhere there's got to be some art from the coast where the ocean sprays to the plains where the antelope play in the cities where they're gay, there must be art when you turn on your tv when you drive your suv or clubbing baby seals you still need art art separates man from beast art separates us from feast but we need to eat and we hope you'll all agree: in a world that's torn apart you can feel it in your heart let the orgy start, don't murder art when you fill your shopping cart you won't find it at walmart stand and do your part, don't murder art art lives inside you and me it grows within you just like an unplanned pregnancy bourgeoisie and prole bring your lovin' holes even save your soul bent wit cabaret!
