You Never Say Good Luck on Opening Night Songtext
von Mel Brooks

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 ever read
Good luck
Even at the comedy francais
On the opening night they are scared
"Boncouince mes ami" 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 lachen
At the famous lascalla in milan
On opening night its the rule
"In bocalupa" they say, with elan
And for luck they all shout "baffangu"
I got it!
Now i never say good luck on opening night.
Thats 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 endeveaur
To never, never, never, never
Ever, ever say
On opening night!
