Melancholy Blues

Melancholy Blues - Louis Armstrong And His Hot Seven

What good is sittin'

Alone in your room

Come hear the music play

Life is a cabaret old chum

Come to the cabaret

Put down that knittin'

The book and the broom

Time for a holiday

Life is a cabaret old chum

Come to the cabaret

Come taste the wine

Come hear that band

Come blow your horn

Start celebrating

Right this way

Your table's waitin'

No use permittin' a prophet of doom

Wipe every smile away

Life is a cabaret old chum

Come to the cabaret

Come taste the wine

Come hear that band

Come blow your horn

Start celebrating

Right this way your table's waitin'

Start by the meeting

From quite to till

It isn't that long all stay

Life is a cabaret old chum

Only a cabaret old chum

So come to the cabaret
