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