Come hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret.

Time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Come to the cabaret.

Come taste-- the wine
Come hear-- the band
Come blow the 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.

Isn’t that long a stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Only a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cab --a --ret!-------------(same pitch for last three notes)
