What good is sitting alone in your room
Come, hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, ol echum, come to the cabaret
Put down that knittin', that book and the room
It's time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, ol echum, so come to the cabaret
Come taste the wine, come hear the band
Yes, it's time for celebratin'
Right this way, your table's waitin'
No use permittin' some prop het of doom
To wipe every smiles away
Life is a cabaret, ol echum, so come to the cabaret
Come taste the wine, come hear the band
Yes, it's time for celebratin'
Right this way, your table's waitin'
No thought for admittin' the Prince of doom
Yes, it is no longer stayin'
Life is a cabaret, old chum, only a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret
