KABAKUNST

Day to day there’s so much threat
From terrorist to national debt
To foolish politicians making bets
With populist epithet

We live in times of so much doubt
Not quite in and not quite out
Let’s shake it all about
Can’t hear the world for the shout

As the world is goes up in smoke
It’s getting hard to feel any hope
And even if we have another vote
Tonight we are in the same boat

It’s KABAKUNST,
We’re here to play
It’s KABAKUNST,
Please join in, we hope you can stay
It’s KABAKUNST,
You’re complicit in all that you do come what may

It’s KABAKUNST,
Kabarett, the conjugal art
It’s KABAKUNST,
Letting the audience rejoice in their part
It’s KABAKUNST,
To share the Kunst from the bottom of our hearts

And yes there are many better off than us
But there’s oh so many worse, who don’t make a fuss
Their lives are not superfluous
It’s not all you me them us…..

We’re so lucky we can have some respite
To forget our troubles go out for a night
And listen to frivolous songs about rights
And our future

It seems the world is going up in smoke
And even though we have another little vote
It’s getting hard to feel any hope
But for tonight we are in the same boat

It’s KABAKUNST,
We’re here to play
It’s KABAKUNST,
Please join in we hope you can stay
It’s KABAKUNST,
You’re complicit in all that you do come what may

It’s KABAKUNST,
Kabarett, the conjugal art
It’s KABAKUNST,
Letting the audience rejoice in their part
It’s KABAKUNST,
To share the Kunst from the bottom of our hearts

Dappers flappers
One and all
Sing together
As we fall

Dappers flappers
One and all
Keep Kabakunst in your heart
We love you all.

about

The Creative Martyrs image

The Creative Martyrs Glasgow, UK

The Creative Martyrs, first appeared in 1883, performing cabaret song and speciality acts.

It was not until their Weimar Cabaret acts of the 1920s that the by then jaded Martyrs found a sympathetic ear.

They further developed their cynicism in the vaudeville shows of 1940s America by which time they were considered passé.

Now the Martyrs will play anywhere that will have them. ... more
