The Opera Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings

To the opera I don't go

Cause I know that Faust is slow

I can't hum Riggoletto

But since you took off I think you ought to know

That I'll keep crawlin' long as birds have wings

And I'll keep callin' long as your phone rings

I'll keep stallin' till the pendulum swings

Cause the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings

Mister William I can't tell

If your overture was swell

???????? Wasn't well

But since we broke up I haven't gone to hell

So I'll keep pluckin' at your old heart strings

I'll keep truckin' long as Basie swings

I'm not duckin' what tomorrow brings

Cause the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings

Carmen left her Spanish town

Pagliacchi hid his frown

Yes I guess I'm like that clown

Tho you stood me up you'll never get me down

So while your cheatin' havin' all your flings

I ain't grievin', none of these things

Ain't retreatin' I'm a guy with wings

Cause the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings

The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings
