Mister Music, the “first hip white,”
could act — and could he sing!
His casual style concealed his art,
and thousands learnt from Bing.

Gagster supreme, more famed was Bob
than Groucho, Burns, or Benny.
On screen it was Bing who got the girl;
in life they both had plenty.
If the judges are reluctant to accept the Benny/plenny rhyme, they may substitute the colorless “many” for the latter. But I prefer “plenty”.
