[emcee, spoken]
the kit kat club is proud to welcome back an old friend. i give you, and don’t you forget to bring her back once you have finished with her, the toast of mayfair — fräulein sally bowles!

[sally, sung]
what good is sitting alone in your 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 your h+rn, start celebrating
right this way, your tablе’s waiting!

no use permitting some prophеt of doom
to wipe every smile away
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret

i used to have a girlfriend, known as elsie
with whom i shared four sordid rooms in chelsea
she wasn’t what you’d call a blushing flower
as a matter of fact, she rented by the hour
the day she died the neighbours came to snicker
“well, that’s what comes from too much pills and liquor”
but when i saw her laid out like a queen
she was the happiest corpse i’d ever seen

i think of elsie to this very day
and i remember how she’d turn to me and say:

“what good is sitting alone in your 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

and as for me, as for me
i made my mind up back in chelsea
when i go, i’m going like elsie

start by admitting from cradle to tomb
it isn’t that long a stay?
life is a cabaret, old chum
