Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What good is sittin'
Alone in your room?
Come hear the music play, yes
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Come taste the wine
Come hear that band
Yes, it's time for celebratin'
Right this way
You're table's waitin'
[Verse 4]
No use permittin'
Some prophet of doom
And wipe every smile away, yes
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret, yeah
[Verse 5]
Yes
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Only a cabaret, old chum
So come to
The cabaret
