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 your 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 blow your horn   Come hear the band   Yeah, start celebrating   Right this way   Your table's waiting      Now start by admitting   From cradle to tomb   It isn't that long a [Incomprehensible]   Oh, life is a cabaret, old chum   Only a cabaret, old chum   So come to the cabaret
