[Cue: Fred:] "How about a little smile,
Miss Vanessi?"

[End of Dialogue: Fred:] "That's all,
Thank you."

[Hattie and Chorus]

Another op'nin', another show
in Philly, Boston or Baltimo'e,
A chance for stagefolks
to say "Hello"
another op'nin' of another show.
Another job that you hope, at 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,
another op'nin' of another show.

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 op'nin',
just another op'nin',
of another show!
