This Is Not Over Yet

Hello?
Evening, ma'mn
What?
No, ma'mn, you know I can't do that
Well, alright
Yes, ma'mn
Yes, I surely will

Hey, Leo!
What is it? What's the matter?
Message from your wife
Oh God, what happened?
She says to tell you that, uh
You-know-who is gonna re-examine you-know-what
Say that again?
You-know-who is gonna re-examine you-know-what
Oh my, thank you, thank you!
You, you know who you-know who is?
Can't say I do
Then you don't know what you-know-what is!
No

Oh, my sweet Lucile, 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 (settle down)
It means the crowds will not be cheering
So, despite what you've been hearing
You can lay down your spade (Leo, hush up)

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's past midnight!)

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 favorite 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)

And 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 was made for you)
And I would never have believed it (Leo)
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 Lucile and Leo Frank!
'Cause this is not over yet!

You see? You see? (yes, I see)
See how I did what I promised? (yes dear, that's wonderful)
It's just like I said (listen, now listen Lucile)
Yes, I'm listening

Tell him to talk those factory girls (talk to those factory girls)
Make sure he gets the truth

He called my name
I turned my head
He got no words to say
His eyes get big
My face gets red
And I want to run away

I feel his breath (he called my name)
Back of my neck (I turned my head)
His hand against-

Just a moment, just a moment here
Let me get this straight
You said Mr. Frank made you feel uncomfortable
Oh, yes, sir, all the time
(All the time? What does that mean?)

When, for instance?
I'll tell you
One morning, back before Christmas, me and Mary was in the ladies' changing room and he came right in
Without knocking?
(There's no door to the ladies' room!)
(Just a curtain, go see for yourself!)
Is that right, Iola?
I reckon

No, it's true, I swear!
Lonnie Mann is sweet on Monteen!
Is there somebody in there?
Yes, sir, me and Iola

Your break was over ten minutes ago
Iola took sick!
She looks alright to me
I'm a little better now
Back to work, please
Mr. Montag doesn't pay you to dawdle away the day

Did he touch you?
Not exactly
Then he didn't touch you
I see

Now, you all testified that Mr. Frank tried to get you to come to his office, who did that happen to?
Well, Hattie Hoover said that Corinthia Wilson told her-
He asked this Corinthia Wilson to his office?
Yes sir!
Then why didn't she testify?
She wouldn't!
Why not?
Well, she said it never happened

Mr. Dorsey said it didn't matter anyway long as we-
As long as you what?
All told the same thing
The truth!
But you just said the truth was that Mr. Frank never asked any of you to come to his office!
Did Mr. Dorsey coach you on what to say?
