[LEO, spoken]

Oh, my sweet Lucille! How did you ever manage it?

[To the GUARD]

You don’t know what any of this means?

(sung)

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 favorite son!

It means I took 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!

[LEO, LUCILLE]

Finally hope!

Yes, Leo, there is hope!

And 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:


[LEO & LUCILLE]

The things I see in you!


[LEO]

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—


[LEO & LUCILLE]

—You shouldn't underestimate

Lucille and Leo Frank!

'Cause this is not over yet!
