What good is sitting alone in your room Come hear the music play Life is a cabaret old chum come to the cabaret   Put down that knittin’ that book and the broom It’s time for a holiday Life is a cabaret olé chum 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 prophet of doom To wip eevery smiles away Life is a cabaret old chum so come to the cabaret Interlude: 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
