Hello, guys! I'm new to this forum and I hope someone can help me. I've been looking for the lyrics of It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings by Mark Shaiman (performed by Keala Settle). It's from the Hairspray 2007 movie soundtrack extended edition. Here is the link http://www.last.fm/music/Keala+Settl...Fat+Lady+Sings or I can send you the file.
I made an attempt to write down the lyrics myself but I got stuck. I just can't hear some words. So perhaps some native speakers can help me please :-)
You're washed up
So face the facts
you're lookin' like a snail stopped dead in its tracks
winded up the song you like to ***
this one song's over, that's all that you wrote
say hello to your waterloo
little *** was thinking 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 ain't finished 'til the last bell rings
the jury's still up 'til the fighter comes in
so good luck, never be the ***
you think your dancing cannot be matched
you've been counting all your chickens before they ***
you never can predict which way the danger look swings
'cause it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!
make way, step aside
button up your coat 'cause you're going for a ride
the teacher's pets are 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're worried looking up stop the show
and there's just no comparing, i'm loose when i'm ready to go
don't you know
that it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
it's been *** but it was just one of those things
it's the battle of the night but say that vow
you'll *** all the traffic if you just *** down
with that package you put all your eggs
i'm gonna scramble them up with these superfine legs
when i'm dancing look around you, all you see is ***
and it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
well well well
you got nice moves don't get me wrong
but you'n't ever gonna be the rage
'cause after a big girl sings her song
she'll put you in the ***, you're *** the stage
instrumental
your shiny corvette is covered with rust
i'm stepping on the gas, so just pick my test
you can't win after dance, still *** have a chat if you passed
just remember that
it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
as *** said to do hey man I know that it stings
i bet you should be wishing that you had wings
*** who once were kings
so we're lookin' to the future
and I hope that it wins
and it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
ohhhh
the fat lady sings!
