"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
It's time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret

​

Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Come blow that horn
Start celebrating right this way
Your table's waiting"
