This Is Not Over Yet

Oh, my sweet Lucille
How did you ever manage it?
You don't know what any of this means?

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 favourite son
It means I made 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
Finally, hope! (Yes Leo, there is hope!)

No, this isn't over! (No, this isn't over!)
No, we aren't through (we are finally on our way)
No, there's still a million things
That you and I can do (I will speak for you Leo)
And I would never have believed it
The things I see in you

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 you shouldn't underestimate
Lucille and Leo Frank
'Cause this is not over yet!
