[Chorus]
BbOpen a new window,
Open a new Gdoor,
CmTravel a new highway,
That's never been tried Bbbefore;
FBefore you Bbfind you're a dull fellow,
Punching the same Gclock,
CmWalking the same tight rope
As everyone on the Dblock.
The Gmfellow you ought to be is three diBbmensional, 
Soaking up Dlife Bbdown to your Dtoes,
CWhenever they say you're slightly unconC7ventional,
Just put your Athumb up to your Dmnose.
And Fshow 'em how to Bbdance to a new rhythm,
Whistle a new Gsong,
CmToast with a new vintage,
The fizz doesn't fizz too Dlong.
There's Gmonly one way to make the bubbles Bbstay,
Simply Cmtravel a new high way,
Dance to a new rhythm,
COpen a new window Cmev'Fry dBbay!
[Bridge]
If you Cmfollow your Auntie Mame
I'll make this vow, my little love,
That on the Glast day of your life
You'll be Fsmiling the same young smile
You're smiling D7now, my little love,
If you Ewake up ev'ry mornin'
And you pull aside the shutter,
And you Fpromise me that these'll be
The first words that you F7utter:
[Chorus]
BbOpen a new window,
Open a new Gdoor,
CmTravel a new highway,
That's never been tried Bbbefore;
FBefore you Bbfind you're a dull fellow,
Punching the same Gclock,
CmWalking the same tight rope
As everyone on the Dblock.
The Gmfellow you ought to be is three diBbmensional, 
Soaking up Dlife Bbdown to your Dtoes,
CWhenever they say you're slightly unconC7ventional,
Just put your Athumb up to your Dmnose.
And Fshow 'em how to Bbdance to a new rhythm,
Whistle a new Gsong,
CmToast with a new vintage,
The fizz doesn't fizz too Dlong.
There's Gmonly one way to make the bubbles Bbstay,
Simply Cmtravel a new high way,
Dance to a new rhythm,

Open a new window,

Punching the same clock,

Walking the same tight rope

As everyone on the block.

That on the last day of your life

You'll be smiling the same young smile

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,

Punching the same clock,

Walking the same tight rope

As everyone on the block.
