[Chorus]
Bb
Open a new window,
G
Open a new door,
Cm
Travel a new highway,
Bb
That's never been tried before;
F Bb
Before you find you're a dull fellow,
G
Punching the same clock,
Cm
Walking the same tight rope
D
As everyone on the block.
Gm Bb
The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional,
D Bb D
Soaking up life down to your toes,
C C7
Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional,
A Dm
Just put your thumb up to your nose.
F Bb
And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm,
G
Whistle a new song,
Cm
Toast with a new vintage,
D
The fizz doesn't fizz too long.
Gm Bb
There's only one way to make the bubbles stay,
Cm
Simply travel a new high way,
Dance to a new rhythm,
C Cm F Bb
Open a new window ev'ry day!
[Bridge]
Cm
If you follow your Auntie Mame
I'll make this vow, my little love,
G
That on the last day of your life
F
You'll be smiling the same young smile
D7
You're smiling now, my little love,
E
If you wake up ev'ry mornin'
And you pull aside the shutter,
F
And you promise me that these'll be
F7
The first words that you utter:
[Chorus]
