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
