Any good tips on mermorising a song?

i have to sing "Baby its Cold Outside" on sunday in a recidal for voice class but im really having trouble memorising it. any tips??


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: is that the old jazz song? if so its a gorgeous one to sing.
i find the easiest way to remember a song is to enjoy it - sounds wierd, but when you get into it i find it sticks in your head easily.

there is, of course, the tried and tested technique of repetition. if this is the song i think it is, then the tune of the verses is fairly repetitive, so try memorising the lyrics of the verses separatly - strangely enough it makes it easier. memorise them in order, as this will make it easier to recite them.

if you get absolutely desperate, try writing teh first few words of each verse on yuor palm - that way, if you have a blank, you can take a sneak peak down at your hand :)
