The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You're washed up

So face the facts

You're lookin' like a snail stopped dead in its tracks

Winded up, you sung your last note

Your swan song's over, that's all that you wrote

Say hello to your Waterloo

Little RABBIT, you was thinkin' the race was through

But while you were complaining

The tortoise was gaining on you

Yes, it's true that...

It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings

the fight aint finished till the last bell rings

the jury's still out till the VERDICT comes in

so good luck baby

may the best DANCE win!

You think your dancing can not be matched

You been countin all your chickens before THEY WAS HATCHED

You never can predict which way the PENDULUM swings

'Cause it aint over 'til the fat lady sings

Make way, Step aside

Button up your coat, cause you're going for a ride

THE TEACHER'S PET DONE RUN OUT OF GAS

Now someone else is headed to the head of the class

You showed us every step that you know

But WHEN YOU WEREN'T LOOKING I STOPPED THE SHOW

And there's just no comparing, I'm loose when I'm raring to go

Don't you know that...

It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings

It's been GREAT FUN but it was just one of those things

IT'S THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH I'D SAY THAT NOW

YOU'LL BEAT ALL THE TRAFFIC IF YOU JUST LEAVE NOW

WHERE'S THAT BASKET you put all you eggs?

I'm gonna scramble 'em up with these superfine legs

When I'm dancing, look around you, all you see is RINGS

and it aint over 'til the fat lady sings

Well-a Well-a Well

You got nice moves, don't get me wrong

but YOU'RE NEVER gonna be the rage, no

'cause after a big girl sings her song

SHE'LL PUT YOU IN A TRANCE AND DANCE YOU RIGHT OFF THE STAGE

Your shiny corvette is covered in rust

I'm stepping on the gas, SO JUST EAT MY DUST

YOU CAN DREAM THAT YOU STAND HALF A CHANCE AFTER THAT

IF YOU MUST, but just remember that

It aint over 'til the fat lady sings

AS TRUMAN SAID TO DEWEY, YEAH I KNOW THAT IT STINGS

i'll bet you should be wishing that you had wings

THE WORLD IS FULL OF PAUPERS WHO ONCE WERE KINGS

so we're lookin' to the future and the hope THAT IT BRINGS

and it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings

ohhhhh

the fat lady sings
