Sing to Me, Kevin!

Now, I ask you, how many words rhyme with “Seven”? Not “Sev’n” but “Se-ven”! Well, there’s “hea-ven”, but that’s been done, done, done. What else? “e-lev-en” ; a challenge, that one. There once was a gamblers epithet “seven come eleven” but who even remembers that?

Well, I settled for “Kevin”, although the only Kevin I knew done me wrong! In any case, you’ll find it very pleasant to dance with Kevin if you take 3 steps to the measure.

Check out a preview of the score below and a recording of the Tony Award winning singer Lindsay Mendez singing "Sing with Me, Kevin!"
