What good is sitting alone in your room,

come, hear the music play!

Put down that knittin', that book and the broom,

it's time for a holiday.
F         Dm  Em       A        F           G7  C
Life is a cabaret, ole chum, so come to the cabaret.

Come taste the wine, come hear the band,
          Dm

G                    G
Right this way, your table's waitin'.

No use permittin' some prophet of doom
                      C7
to wipe every smiles away.
F         Dm  Em       A        F           G7  C
