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

Mame and Agnes:
Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional

Patrick:
Just put your thumb up to your nose

Mame and All:
And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm
Whistle a new song
Toast with a new vintage
The fizz doesn't fizz too long
There's only one way to make the bubbles stay
Simply travel a new high way
Dance to a new rhythm
Open a new window ev'ry day!

All:
Open a new window
Open a new door
Travel a new highway
That's never been tried before
Before you find you're a dull fellow
Punching the same clock
Walking the same tight rope
As everyone on the block
The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional
Soaking up life down to your toes
Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional
Just put your thumb up to your nose
And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm
Whistle a new song
Toast with a new vintage
The fizz doesn't fizz too long
There's only one way to make the bubbles stay
Simply travel a new high way
Dance to a new rhythm
Whistle a new love song
Toast with a new vintage
Open a new window ev'ry day!
