John Pizarrelli - I Like to Recognize the Tune
 
 I like to recognize the tune
 I want to savvy what the band is playing
 I keep saying,
 "Must you bury the tune?"
 
 I got to know the answer soon
 Is it a cat meowing in the attic?
 Is it static?
 Must you bury the tune?
 
 A guy named Tony
 Plays the drums like thunder
 But the melody is six feet under
 
 There isn't anyone immune
 They kill Billy Roses and Puccinis
 Don't be meanies
 Must you bury the tune?
 
 
 [Interlude]
 
 
 But the melody is ... under
 There isn't anyone immune
 They kill the Arthur Schwartzes and the Glinkas
 Don't be stinkers
 Must you bury the tune?
