Lyrics Cabaret - Louis Armstrong and His All Stars

What good is sitting, alone in the room?
Come, hear the music play!
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
Come to the cabaret!
Put down that knitting, the book and the broom
(It's) time for a holiday, yes,
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
So, come to the cabaret!

Come taste the wine
Come hear the band
Yes, it's time for celebrating
Right this way your table's waiting.

No use permitting one prophet of doom
Wipe every smile away, yes,
Life is a cabaret, old chum!
So come to the cabaret!

Yes, life is a cabaret, old chum!
Only a cabaret, old chum!
So come to the cabaret!
