Another Op'nin', Another Show
Cole Porter
Another op'nin, another show
In Philly, Boston, or Baltimo'
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
Another op'nin
Another op'nin of another show
