The Party’s (not) Over

Raise an obelisk or shrine

And sing the praise of Jule Styne!

Praise can hardly be excessive

For a canon so impressive.

Which is why we find his name

In a couple Halls of Fame.

Extroverted or subdued,

There’s a song for every mood.

Give your voice some exercise and

Sing along with Barbara Streisand. 

Or in light of what you’re planning

Sing along with Carol Channing.

If a Vegas mood has got ya

Sing along with Frank Sinatra.

Feeling sad, or feeling fine

Sing along with Jule Styne!
