This Is Not Over Yet

LEO
Oh, my sweet Lucille!
However did you manage it?
(to the guard:) 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 fav’rite son!
It means I took a vow for better:
Two is better than one!
It means the journey ahead may be shorter;
I might reach the end of my rope;
But suddenly, loud as a mortar,
There is hope! 
LEO
Finally, hope!
And no, this isn’t over!
No, we aren’t through!
No, there’s still a million things
That you and I can do!
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!		 LUCILLE
Yes, Leo, there is hope!
No, this isn’t over!
We are fin’lly on our way!I will speak for you,
Leo:
The things I see in you!You shouldn’t underestimate
Lucille and Leo Frank!
‘Cause this is not over yet!
