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!
