An American sports commentator, Dan Cook, used to say "The opera ain't over
until the fat lady sings", (presumably he was forced to watch one Wagnerian
epic too many) and that may be the origin, although he probably adapted it
from an American deep South saying, "Church ain't out til the lady sings".

The famous American sportsman and coach Yogi Berra also said "It ain't over
until it's over", and I know some people also attributed the 'fat lady' to
him, but, as he is also quoted as having said, "I never said half the things
I really said", so he probably never said it at all :-)

Would a 'size 18' rendition of 'Summertiiiiiime' serve?

I didn't know you were a size 18!

Been putting on weight?

Built for passion, not speed as one husband put it! ;-)

I think originally from opera where it's usually a well built soprano who
closes the show :~))
