作词 : Ebb, Kander
what good is sitting alone
In you room?
Come hear the music play.

Life is a cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
Time for a holiday.
Life is a cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret.
Come taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow a horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your tables waiting.
No use permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a cabaret, old chum,

Come to the cabaret!

Life is a cabaret, old chum,
Only a cabarert, old chum
And I love a cabaret.
