Roosevelt we've been betrayed
|
Said someone over there
|
I think it was me
|
Here's a little place for you
|
And here's a little house where you can die
|
There's a lady in the corner
|
Who'd really love to sing for you
|
Feel free to sing along
|
Well I hear she sings a pretty song, I do
|
But Roosevelt I might be wrong
|
And every time he thinks of her
|
Something kind of wonderful comes right into mind
|
It ain't over till it's over
|
It ain't over till she sings her song
|
But Roosevelt I might be wrong
|
|
We can try and make sense out of you
|
Maybe in a minute or two
|
Cause my heart's getting tired and my toes getting cold
|
I hope we don't ever get old
|
Ain't it funny how we're all getting old
|
Ain't it funny how we're all getting old
|
And the fat lady doesn't get old
|
Ain't it funny how we're all getting old
|
|
And the fat lady sings with the grace of an angel
|
As Roosevelt devises his plan
|
As her voice becomes music, the music the waltz
|
Which was over before it began
|
But it was already done
|
But it was already done
|
|
Singing Obi Wan we've been betrayed
|
Said someone over there I think it was you
|
Here's a little place for you
|
And here's a little house where you can die
|
Cause there's a lady in the corner
|
Who'd really love to sing for you
|
Feel free to sing along
|
Well I hear she sings a pretty song, I do
|
Roosevelt I might be wrong
|
And every time he thinks of her
|
Nothing short of wonderful comes right into mind
|
It ain't over till it's over
|
It ain't over till she sings her song
|
But Roosevelt I might be wrong
|
|
We can try and make sense out of you
|
Maybe in a minute or two
|
Cause my heart's getting tired and my toes getting cold
|
I hope we don't ever get old
|
|
(tell me the story....tell me, tell...)
|
Ain't it funny how we're all getting old
|
Ain't it funny how we're all getting old (tell me the story)
|
And the fat lady doesn't get old (tell me the tale)
|
Ain't it funny how we're all getting old (tell me the story)
|
|
And the fat lady sings with the grace of an angel
|
Roosevelt devises his plan
|
As her voice becomes music, the music the waltz
|
Which was over before it began
