You Never Say Good Luck On Opening Night

And I just want to wish everybody, good luck
Mr. Bloom, hasn't anyone ever told you
It's bad luck to say, "Good luck" on opening night

If you do, I tell you
It is certain by the curtain
You are through

Good luck

It's bad luck to [C7]say, "Good luck" on [C7]opening night
Once it's said, you [A7are dead
You will get the worst ɾeviews
You've ever ɾead

Good luck

Even at the Comedie-Francaise
On the opening night they are scared
"Bon [C7]chance, mes amis," no one says
The only word you [A7ever hear is
Merde

Good luck, good luck, good luck

It's verboten, wishing luck on [C7]opening night
Take advice, don't think twice
Or your show will surely end
Up in the Scheiss

Guten lucken

At the famous La Scala in Milan
On opening night it's a ɾule
In Boccu Lupa they say with Elan
And just for [Dm7]luck they all [Em]shout
"Bah fongool"

I got [Fm7]it, now I'll never say
"Good luck" on [C7]opening night
That's the ɾule, I'm no fool
What do I say, I beg?

What you [A7say is,
"Break a leg"
Break a leg?
Yes, break a leg

If you're clever
Good luck
You'll endeavor
To never, never, never, never
Ever, ever, ever say
On opening night
