He then dedicated a song to the “AIG guys.” The lyrics of which included, “Kiss the sweet good life goodbye.”
The audience reacted with raucus laughter and clapping.
Other songs he sung inlcuded the well-known, “The best is yet to come,” “Fly me to the moon”, and “I left my heart in San Francisco.”
Bennett rallied for the Democratic Party, saying, ” I’ve always been a Democrat. Believe me, we’ve got to keep the Democrats in.”
