Mrs. Miller (5 October 1907 – 5 July 1997) recorded several novelty vocal albums in the mid-1960s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the Party’s Over

Sing the praise of Mrs. Miller,

Briefly on the charts until her

Special manner of defiling

Well-known tunes with quirky styling

Lost the strange appeal it had

As a wacky 60s fad.

Even so, there is no shame

When such an unexpected fame,

Evanescent as a flame,

Is snuffed as quickly as it came.

Roses make a fine bouquet,

But even roses fade away.
