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 crowd 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
And 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 aren't through)
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!
You don't know what any of this means?
It means cancel all your parties
Forget your big parade
It means the crowd 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
And 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

And no, this isn't over (No, this isn't over)
No, we aren't through (We aren't through)
No, there's still a million things

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!
