There once was a lemur in Madagascar, who desperately wanted to travel to Alaska. He hopped on a plane, but then recanted... saying “this trip is a pain, I’ll settle for Denali in alabaster.” Okay, so limerick-writing skills aren’t exactly my forte (hey, I can’t be good at everything!). Maybe you can write something more suitable for this piece? Be sure to share it with your audience when you perform it. Enjoy this catchy piece, inspired by music of the swing era.
