The Opera Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings Lyrics - 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
