Are you happy, really happy Living in your cage If you came here don’t get snappy Looking on the stage Clowns and singers, belles and dancers Steal your breath away If you’re lonely take your chances In a cabaret
No more stories No more worries Raise the curtain And open your eyes Farinelli, Farinelli I will show you
Show you nothing show you little But you’ll come for more There’s no answer to this riddle But you’ll cry ‘encore’ Lamps and shadows smoke and flowers Let the music play You’ll be happy for two hours In a cabaret
Can’t you see heaven’s under my spell Thrown in flames we’ll be singing in hell Life’s nothing but the cabaret
