Cabaret, cabaret!
That's where we go --
Leaves de snow outside / An' our troubles at de door.
Jazz band, jazz band!
Ma man an' me dance.
When I cuddles up to him / No other gal's got a chance.
Baby, O, Baby, / I'm midnight mad.
If ma daddy didn't love me / It sho would be sad.
If he didn't love me / I'd go away / An' dig me a grave this very day.
Blues. blues!
Blue, blue, blues!
I'd sho have them blues.
