Part 1:

What good is sit -ting a -lone in your room?

Come hear the mu -sic play;

Life is a Cab -a -ret, old chum,

Come to the Cab -a -ret.

 

Put down the knitting, the book and the broom,
It's time for a holiday;
Life is a cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret.

 

Part 2:

Come taste the wine, Come hear the band, Come blow the horn,

Start cel -e -brat -ing, Right this way, your ta -ble's wait -ing.

No use per -mit -ting some proph -et of doom

To wipe ev -'ry smile a -way;

(go to Ending after Repeat)

Life is a Cab -a -ret, old chum,

Come to the Cab -a -ret,

(Repeat Part 2)

 

Ending:

Life is a Cab -a -ret, old chum,

On -ly a Cab -a -ret, old chum,

So come to the Cab -a -ret.
