What good is sittin' alone in your room
Come hear the music play, yes
Life is a cabaret old chum
Come to the cabaretPut down that knittin', the book and the broom
Time for a holiday, yes
Life is a cabaret old chum
So come to the cabaretCome taste the wine, come hear that band
Yes, it's time for celebratin'
Right this way, your table's waitin'No use permittin' a prophet of doom
Wipe every smile away, yes
Life is a cabaret old chum
So come to the cabaret, yesYes, life is a cabaret old chum
Only a cabaret old chum
So come to the cabaret
