Cabaret
J. Kander and Fred Ebb
What good is sitting...alone in your room
Come, hear the music play
Life is a cabaret, ole chum...come to the cabaret
Put down that knittin?...that book and the broom
It's time for a holiday
Life is a cabaret, ole chum...so come to the cabaret
Come taste the wine...come hear the band
Yes it?s time...for celebratin?
Right this way your table´s waitin?
No use permittin?....some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away
Life is a cabaret , ole chum...come to the cabaret
(instrumental break)
Come taste the wine...come hear the band
Come blow your horn...start celebratin?
Right this way your table´s waitin?
No use admmitin?....that ole prince of doom
Wipe all those smiles away
Life is a cabaret , old chum
Only a cabaret, old chum
So come to the cabaret
Louis Armstrong recorded this song live at the 'Palais des Sports'
in Paris, France, in 1965. He also included it on the 'Wonderful
World Album' in 1968.
