Lyrics
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
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
No use permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
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
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
Isn’t that long a stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Only a cabaret, old chum
So come to the Cabaret
