Melodi: John Kander - Tekst: Fred Ebb. Fra »Cabaret«, 1966.
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 the horn, start celebrating,
right this way, your table's waiting.
No use permitting some prophet of doom
To wipe ev'ry smile away:
Life is a cabaret, old chum.
Come to the cabaret.
Come taste the wine,
come hear the band,
com blow the horn, start celebrating,
right this way, your table's waiting.
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb
isn't that long a stay:
Life is cabaret, old chum.
Only a cabaret, old chum,
so come to the cabaret!
Fra musicalen 'Cabaret' 1966. Den omhandlede det dekadente liv i 30' ernes Berlin set i nazismens skygge, hvor emner som homoseksualitet, misbrug og antisemitisme er i fokus.
