Cabaret lyrics

A table for two, sir

Right this way

Oh, what good is sitting alone in your room?

Come hear the music play

Life is a cabaret, my chum

Come to the cabaret

Put down the knitting, the book, and the broom

Time for a holiday

Life is a cabaret, old chum

Life is a cabaret

Come taste the wine

Come hear the band

Come blow that horn

Start celebrating right this way

Your table's waiting

Nobody's permitting some prophet of doom

To wipe every smile away

Life is a cabaret, old chum

Only a cabaret, old chum

Come to the cabaret!

Oh, right this way

Everybody, swing it at the cabaret

This is the raining where you can have the bone, daddy

Right at the cabaret!

Oh, everybody's cool when they groove at the cabaret, baby

Yes, yes

Yes?

Come on to the cabaret

Beautiful and sweet

Come to the cabaret, yes sir!

Hurry, march it right down to this cabaret, everybody

Yes, you're going there, daddy, you're looking good
