Opera Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings

(Album: Making A Name For Myself - 1979)

To the opera I don't go
'Cos 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 crawling long as birds have wings
And I'll keep calling long as your phone rings
I'll keep stalling till the pendulum swings
'Cos 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 plucking at your old heart strings
I'll keep trucking long as Basie swings
I'm not ducking what tomorrow brings
'Cos 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 cheating having all your flings
I ain't grieving, none of these things
Ain't retreating I'm a guy with wings
'Cos the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings

The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings
