[emcee, spoken]
and now, meine damen und herren, mesdames et messieurs, ladies and gentlemen, the kit kat club is so happy… to welcome back an old friend. i give you, the toast of mayfair, fräulein sally bowles

[sally]
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
it’s time for a holiday
life is a cabaret, old chum
come to the cabaret

come taste thе wine
come hear thе band
come blow a h+rn, start celebrating
right this way, your table’s waiting

what good’s permitting some prophet of doom
to wipe every smile away
life is a cabaret, old chum
so 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 neighbors 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
i remember how she’d turn to me and say:

“what good is sitting alone in you room?
come hear the music play
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
isn’t that long a stay
life is a cabaret, old chum
it’s only a cabaret, old chum
and i love a cabaret!
