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
