Just in Time (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Just in Time" is a popular song with the melody written by Jule Styne and the lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The song was published in 1956.

The song was introduced by Judy Holliday and Sydney Chaplin in the musical Bells Are Ringing. A very popular recording of the song was made by Tony Bennett, which was a hit that year. Decades later, Bennett recorded it with Michael Bublé as part of his very popular 2006 album Duets: An American Classic.

This is also the title of an unrelated 1960s country song by Jerry Lee Lewis. Though unreleased at the time (Lewis was regarded primarily as a rock 'n' roll artist then), it was a precursor in style to the many country hits Lewis had from 1968-1981.

Dean Martin also recorded the track which figures on most of his greatest hits albums. Vic Goddard, ex-punk singer from the cult band Subway Sect, sings "just in time" often on stage but never recorded it.
