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 the knitting, the book and the broom Time for a holiday Life is a cabaret, old chum Come to the cabaret Come taste the wine, come hear the band, come blow a horn Start celebrating, right this way your table's waiting No use permitting some prophet of doom To wipe every smile away Life is a cabaret, old chum Come to the cabaret Come taste the wine, come hear the band, come blow a horn Start celebrating, right this way your table's waiting No use permitting some prophet of doom To wipe every smile away Life is a cabaret, old chum Only a cabaret, old chum So come to the cabaret I love a cabaret
