What good is sittin' alone in your room

Come hear the music play, yes

Life is a cabaret old chum

Come to the cabaret



Put down that knittin', the book and the broom

Time for a holiday, yes

Life is a cabaret old chum

So come to the cabaret



Come 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, yes



Yes, life is a cabaret old chum

Only a cabaret old chum

So come to the cabaret
