Lyrics

Catskill Mountain Cabaret Three hours rail from the New Yorker Hotel A home in the country I loved so well Stay for the night, spend the whole damn day At the Catskill Mountain Cabaret They don’t let the townies hang on the bar And Wolf at the door will light your cigar There’s a room in the rear where an hour’s a year If you heard that, son, you ain’t heard that here And the line girls come as easy as the day is long They don’t care where you been, they don’t care where you’re coming from And I’ve been in love every waking day With the star of the night they call Anna Mae She’s the queen of the Catskill Mountain Cabaret She gives me a look at the back of the hall Where the skeletons dress for the Benzendrine ball There’s boards on the window, blood on the wall You been back there once, then you’ve seen it all And the line girls come as easy as the day is long She don’t care where you been, she don’t care where you’re coming from And I’ve been in love every waking day With the star of the night they call Anna Mae She’s the queen of the Catskill Mountain Cabaret Three hours rail from salvation or hell A home in the country I loved so well Spent me some nights, it was grand in its day The Catskill Mountain Cabaret Now the whole damn mountain is starting to sway And no one knows how I steal the queen away And I’ve been in love every waking day With the star of the night they call Anna Mae She’s the queen She’s the queen Oh she’s the queen She’s a queen Oh I’m in love with the queen!
