What good is sitting, alone in your room?

But come, hear the music play!

Life is a cabaret, old chum!
4
Come to the cabaret!
5
Put down your knitting, your book and your broom

It is time for a holiday
7
Life is a cabaret, old chum!

Come to the cabaret!
9
Come taste the wine
10
Come hear the band
11
Come blow that horn

Start celebrating
13
Right this way your table's waiting
14
What good's permitting some prophet of doom?
15
To wipe every smile away

Life is a cabaret, old chum!
17
So come to the cabaret!
18
I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie
19
With whom I shared for sordid rooms in Chelsea
20
She wasn't what you call a blushing flower
21
As a matter of fact she rented by the hours
22
The day she died the neighbours
23
Came to snicker her
24
Well, that is what comes from
25
Too much pills and liquor
26
But when I saw her laid down like a queen
27
She was the happiest corpes I'd ever seen
28
I think of Elsie till this very day
29
I remember how she'd turned to me and say
30
What good is sitting all alone in your room?
31
Come hear the music play
32
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
33
Come to the cabaret!
34
And as for me
35
And as for me
36
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
37
When I go I am going like Elsie
38
Start by admitting
39
From cradle to doom
40
It isn't that long a stay
41
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
42
It's only a cabaret, old chum!
43
And I love a cabaret!
