Roger Miller - Opera Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings lyrics

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
