Well everybody's feeling so somber and sad With their heads hanging low, feeling mighty bad But they only knew what I know They'd jump right up and let the good times roll It ain't over when it's over The soul lives on and it never dies No, it ain't over when it's over And there's a better world waiting on the other side, that's right woo Don't you waste your good money on a fine headstone Get a case of fine wine, get everybody stoned Then just like me you'll be feeling no pain When they scatter my ashes on the Pontchartrain It ain't over when it's over The soul lives on and it never dies It ain't over when it's over And there's a better world waiting on the other side *INSTRUMENTAL* I believe this is not the end I believe we're all gonna meet again Just keep on smiling through the tears in your eyes There ain't no reason to say goodbye 'Cause it ain't over when it's over The soul lives on and it never dies No it ain't over when it's over And there's a better world waiting on the On the other side Well, Lord I wanna be there I wanna be in that number, how 'bout you Oh when the saints, when they all go marching in Oh it ain't over when it's over The soul lives on, it never dies It ain't over when it's over And there's a better world waiting for you on It's right there on the other side And I will see you there Oh yes I will see you there woo
