Whenever I feel afraid
I hold my head erectAnd whistle a happy tune
So no one will suspect I'm afraid
While shivering in my shoes I strike a careless pose
And whistle a happy tune And no one ever knows
I'm afraid
The result of this deception Is very strange to tell
For when I fool the people I fear I fool myself as well!
I whistle a happy tune And ev'ry single time
The happiness in the tune Convinces me that I'm not afraid
Make believe you're brave And the trick will take you far
You may be as braveAs you make believe you are
You may be as brave As you make believe you are
The girl that I marry will have to beAs soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my ownWill wear satin and laces and smell of cologne
Her nails will be polishedAnd in her hair she'll wear a gardenia
And I'll be thereInstead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her I'm cheerful like a kittenA doll I can carry,
The girl that I marry will be
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

Come taste the wine,Come hear the band
Come blow your horn,Start celebrating;
Right this way,Your table's waiting
No use permittingsome prophet of doom
To wipe every smile awayCome hear the music play
