Jeffrey Lesser - This Is Not Over Yet lyrics

[LEO, spoken] Oh, my sweet Lucille! How did you ever manage it? (to the guard) You don't know what any of this means? (sung) It means cancel all your parties Forget your big parade It means the crowds will not be cheering So despite what you've been hearing You can lay down your spade It means my mother can stop crying My rabbi's eulogy can wait It means that Dorsey can stop beaming And my cousin can stop dreaming Of his portion of my estate It means, no! This isn't over! No, the date's not set! No, I won't wake up tomorrow Drowning in my sweat! It means I've got the greatest partner Any man can get! It means I'll never ever ever Underestimate that woman, ‘Cause this is not over yet! Tell my uncle not to worry! Tell the Reaper not to hurry! Make the hangman stop his drumming ‘Cause I'm coming into town to win the day! Somehow I haven't, with my scheming, Screwed things up beyond redeeming, And we're finally on our way! And no, this isn't over! Hell, it's just begun! Hail the Resurrection of The South's least fav'rite son! It means I took a vow for better: Two is better than one! It means the journey ahead might get shorter; I might reach the end of my rope; But suddenly, loud as a mortar, There is hope! [LEO] Finally, hope! And no, this isn't over! No, we aren't through! No, there's still a million things That you and I can do! And I would never have believed it: The things I see in you! [LUCILLE] Yes, Leo, there is hope! No, this isn't over! We are fin'lly on our way! I will speak for you, Leo The things I see in you! [LEO] It means a man who isn't guilty Doesn't have to walk the plank! It means the gallows still are vacant And we've got my wife to thank! It means— [LEO & LUCILLE] —You shouldn't underestimate Lucille and Leo Frank! ‘Cause this is not over yet!
