Good evening one and all
We're all so glad
to see you here
We'll play your favorite songs
While you all
soak up the atmosphere
We'll start with Old Man River
Then maybe Stormy Weather too
I'm sure you know just what to do
On with the show, good health to you
Please pour another glass
It's time to watch
the cabaret
Your wife will never know
That you're not
really working late
Your hostess here is Wendy
You'll find her
very friendly too
And we don't care just what you do
On with the show, good health to you
Batina starts the show at 2 o'clock
Or if by chance you find
That you can't make
it anymore
We'll put you in a cab
And get you safely
to the door
Oh we've got all the answers
And we've got
lovely dancers too
There's nothing else you have to do
On with the show, good health to you
You're all such lovely people
Dancing gaily
round the floor
But if you have to fight
Please take your
trouble out the door
And now I say with sorrow
Until this time
tomorrow
We'll bid you all a fond Adieu
On with the show, good health to you
