All You Have to Do Is Wait

All You Have to Do Is Wait - Shawn Elliott/City of Angels Original Broadway Cast

There's no sun up in the sky

And the birds forgot to sing

But you're headed for a cell

Then to die and rot in hell

So it might as well be spring

I'll be singing like a bird

When the jury sets the date

And this capital event

Proves revenge is heaven sent

All you have to do is wait

You're about to take that big siesta

Stone but don't request a

Padre rest a

Assured that I'll say mass

Try a final meal of tacos on a

Plate of beans mañana

Odds are they are gonna

Give you gas

They will strap you in a chair

And for once you'll be polite

You'll say gov'nor pardon me

But he's sure to disagree

'Cause the case I've made is tight

It's the people versus stone

And my money is on the state

Who says dreams do not come true

You will get what you are due

All you have to do is wait

Time to Fiesta

On the day you die I'll eat high on the hog

Santa Maria

I will go to town on the day

You're put down like a dog

I'm leading an ovation

At your asphyxiation

As crowds line up to watch you pay your debts

I'll collect my bets

Playing castanets

As you're walking your last mile

As you're walking your last mile

I'll be overcome with pride

You'll be overcome with pride

Taking pleasure in your death

And to know your final breathe

Will be filled with cyanide

Will be filled with cyanide

Though you've never been my fav'rite

Gringo

In my native lingo

Adios adios

The end is close

The end is close

As they seal the chamber door

Think of me who sealed your fate

Once the pellets hit the pail

From the instant you inhale

All you have to do is wait

All you have to do is wait

Good things come to those who wait
