Lyrics

Whenever I feel afraid
 I hold my head erect
 And 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 every 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 brave
 As you make believe you are
 ♪
 You may be as brave
 As you make believe you are!
 The girl that I marry will have to be
 As soft and as pink as a nursery
 The girl I call my own
 Will wear satin and laces and smell of cologne
 Her nails will be polished and in her hair
 She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
 Stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
 Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten
 A doll I can carry
 The girl that I marry must 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
 Time for a holiday
 Life is Cabaret old chum
 Come to the Cabaret
 Come taste the wine, come hear the band
 Come blow your horn, start celebrating
 Right this way your table's waiting
 No use permitting some prophet of doom
 To wipe every smile away
 Life is a Cabaret old chum
 Only a caberet old chum
 So come to the Cabaret!
 You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame
 You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame
 You've got the banjoes strummin'
 And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band
 The whole plantation's hummin'
 You brought Dixie back to Dixie land
 You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame
 You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame
 You make the old magnolia tree
 Blossom at the mention of your name
 You've made us feel alive again
 You've given us the drive again
 To make the South revive again, Mame!
 You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame
 You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame
 You make the old magnolia tree
 Blossom at the mention of your name
 You're special fascination'll
 Proved to be inspirational
 We think you're just sensational, Mame!
 Hello, hello Dolly, well hello Dolly
 It's so nice to have you back where you belong
 You're looking swell Dolly, we can tell Dolly
 You're still glowin', you're still crowin', you're still goin' strong
 We feel the room swayin' for the band's playin'
 One of your old favorite songs from way back when
 So... take her wrap fellas
 Find her an empty lap fellas
 Dolly you'll never go away again!
 We feel the room swayin' for the band's playin'
 One of your old favorite songs from way back when
 So... golly gee fellas
 Find her a vacant big knee fellas
 Dolly you'll never go away
 Dolly you'll never go away
 Dolly you'll never go away again!
