What good is sittin' alone in your room

Come hear the music play

Life is a cabaret old chum

Come to the cabaret

Put down that knittin', the book and the broom

Time for a holiday

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'

Some prophet of doom

Wipe every smile away

Life is a cabaret old chum

So come to the cabaret
