THE OPERA AIN`T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY S — текст песни (Roger Miller)

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 crawlin` long as birds have wings
And I`ll keep callin` long as your phone rings
I`ll keep stallin` 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 pluckin` at your old heart strings
I`ll keep truckin` long as Basie swings
I`m not duckin` 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 cheatin` havin` all your flings
I ain`t grievin`, none of these things
Ain`t retreatin` 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
