For years she watched him eyein'
F#7
Every girl that walked by him
Bm
Now it's hit the fan and flyin'
F#7
She saw the lipstick on his neck
Em
He swore it was just that once
Bm
He'd win back her trust
Em F#7
But she caught him on the run with a young busty brunette
She lost her head

She could hear the fat lady singing
F#7
Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging

He'll be beltin' soprano
F#7
At the devil's piano
Em Bm
She's goin' down

Six feet underground
F#7 Bm F#7 Bm F#7
'Cause the fat lady's singin' now

She showed the hussy to the door

Said marriage is worth fightin' for
Bm
They made love like never before
F#7
Then she played possum while he slept
Em
Sunrise lit the final act

Poison pancakes coffee black
Em F#7
She set the tray upon his lap and fed him breakfast in bed
Ding dong he's dead

She could hear the fat lady singing

Curtain dropped so fast it's swinging

He'll be beltin' soprano

At the devil's piano
Em Bm
She's goin' down

Six feet underground

Pancakes and Passion Leave One Man Dead

If she's sorry it sure don't show it

She's chirpin' like a bird down on death row
Bm
She could hear the fat lady singing

At the devil's piano
