Bleibe, reste, stay
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Im cabaret, au cabaret, to cabaret!

Meine Damen und Herren
Mesdames et messieurs
Ladies and gentlemen
Where are your troubles now?
Forgotten—I told you so
We have no troubles here
Here, life is beautiful
The girls are beautiful
Even the orchestra is beautiful

[SCHULTZ]
Meeskite, meeskite
Once upon a time there was a meeskite, meeskite
Looking in the mirror he would say, "What an awful shock
I got a face that could stop a clock"
Meeskite, meeskite

[ENSEMBLE]
Glücklich zu sehen
Je suis enchanté
Happy to see you

[FRÄULEIN SCHNEIDER]
And the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And learn how to settle
For what you get
It'll all go on if we're here or not
So who cares?
So who cares?

[ENSEMBLE]
Fremde, étranger, stranger
Glücklich zu sehen
Je suis enchanté
[SALLY]
I made my mind up back in Chelsea
When I go I'm going like Elsie
From cradle to tomb
Isn't that long a stay
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Life is a cabaret, old chum
Life is a cabaret, old chum

[EMCEE]
Auf wiedersehen
À bientôt
Good night
