After Pavarotti .....

The show is not over
Until the Fat Lady sings .
House lights will dim
And the last curtain brings
The fading applause for each magical note
The Large Gentleman sang ,
That could float every boat .

Each time Nessun Dorma
May cause you to weep .
There is one more bright star
That knows "None Shall Sleep" .......
