Post Match Analysis

'It's not over till the fat lady sings' is a phrase of obscure origin used by sports (usually football) reporters to suggest that the outcome of a contest isn't decided until the final whistle (or extra time, the penalty shootouts, or sometimes the second leg).

It’s Not Over

We left the stadium after awhile
Exiting though the open turnstiles
To find inappropriately clad in lycra
And standing on top of a Micra
A very fat woman singing opera
From on top of that poor little car
When I heard a laugh from my lad
Who then said “It’s all over then Dad”
