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
