It is sung by the character Sally Bowles. The music was composed by John Kander and the lyrics by Fred Ebb. In the musical, the song is performed by the character Sally Bowles in a night club setting in Nazi Germany in 1931. Her lover has told her that he is taking her back to America so that they can raise their baby together in safety. Sally protests as she thinks their life in Berlin is wonderful and she states politics have nothing to do with them or their affairs. After a heated row, Sally goes on stage singing “Cabaret” (“life is a cabaret, old chum”), thus confirming her decision to live in carefree ignorance of the impending problems in Germany.
