As Promised - A Jam-Session Ditty

Do re mi fa sol la ti,
Merry will our sessions be,
Arias, jazz, concertos too,
Keep us all from feeling blue,
(Though a blues chord here and there
Is a thing we love to share!)
Dorian, major, Lydian, minor,
Modes and keys get fine and finer,
Rounds, polyphony and chant,
Sight-sing, sight-play, and if you can't,
Ask the key and shut your eyes
And improv, improv, improvise!
When at last it's time to go,
End the jam with Figaro!
Tomorrow night - it's morning?! - then,
Tonight, we'll do it all again!
