Another opening,
another show,
in Philly, Boston or Baltimore,
a chance for stage folks to say hello,
another opening of
another show,
another job that you hope at last
will make your future
forget your past,
another pain where the ulcers grow,
another opening of another show.
Four weeks you
rehearse and rehearse,
Three weeks and it couldn't be worse,
One week, will it ever be right?
Then out of the hat,
it's that big first night.
The overture is about to start,
You cross your fingers
and hold your heart,
It's curtain time and away we go,
Another opening of another show.
Another opening, another show,
In Billy Boston or Baltimore,
A chance to stay close to say hello
Another opening of another show
Another job that you hope at last
Will make your future forget your past
Another cave where the elses grow
Another opening of another show
Four weeks you re
hearse and rehearse
Three weeks and it
couldn't be worse
One week will never be right
And out of the heck is that big first night
We hope the show is about to start
You cross your fingers
and hold your heart
It's time to time and away we go
Another open house,
another open arm
Another show!
