Gary Beach - Opening Nigh t(Reprise)/You Never Say Good Luck on Opening Night lyrics

Opening night, it's opening night It's Max Bialystock's latest show Will it flop or will it go? The houselights are dimming The footlights are bright The toast of society's burning tonight We're so excited We can't sit down Cause Springtime for Hilter has come to town! ROGER: Ah, it's Bialystock and Bloom. Well, gentlemen ... merde! CARMEN: Toi, toi, toi FRANZ: Hals und Beinbruch! LEO: And I just want to wish everybody ... good luck! CARMEN: Ahhhhh! ROGER: 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! MAX: Good luck! CARMEN: It's bad luck to say "good luck" on opening night Once it's said, you are dead You will get the worst reviews You've ever read! MAX: Good luck! ROGER: Even at the Comedie-Francaise On the opening night they are scared "Bon chance, mes amis", no one says The only word you ever hear is... ROGER, CARMEN & FRANZ: Merde! MAX: Good luck, good luck, good luck FRANZ: It's verboten, vishing "luck" on opening night Take advice, don't think twice Or your show will surely end Up in the Scheiss! MAX: Guten lucken CARMEN: At the famous La Scala in Milan On opening night it's a rule "In boccu lupa" they say with elan And just for luck they all shout... ROGER, CARMEN & FRANZ: "Bah fongool!" LEO: I got it! Now I'll never say "good luck" on opening night That's the rule, I'm no fool! What do I say, I beg? ROGER, CARMEN & FRANZ: What you say is "break a leg"! LEO: Break a leg? ROGER, CARMEN & FRANZ: Yes, break a leg! LEO, ROGER, CARMEN & FRANZ: If you're clever... MAX: Good luck! LEO, ROGER, CARMEN & FRANZ: You'll endeavour To never, never, never, never Ever, ever, ever say... ...on opening night!
