Another op’nin, another show
In Philly, Boston, or Baltimo’e
A chance for stage folks to say ‘Hello!’
Another op’nin of another show.

Another job that you hope will last
Will make your future forget your past
Another pain where the ulcers grow
Another op’nin 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

It’s curtain time and away we go –
Another opening of
Another opening of another show
