Various Artists - You Never Say Good Luck on Opening Night lyrics

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 say, "Good luck" on opening night Once it's said, you are dead You will get the worst reviews You've ever read Good luck 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 Merde Good luck, good luck, good luck It's verboten, wishing luck on 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 rule In Boccu Lupa they say with Elan And just for luck they all shout "Bah fongool" 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? What you say 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
