Give credit where credit is due;

Give credit to Jimmy McHugh!

He’d write a new song,

And before very long,

It was something that everyone knew.

Misappropriation 

Of the songs by the great Jerry Herman,

It doesn’t take long to determine

That they’d be an anomaly

If found in a homily,

Or if quoted at length in a sermon.
