Take Five (with Dave Brubeck) [Live]
Paul Desmomd/Dave Brubeck/Lola Brubeck
Carmen McRea w The Dave Brubeck Quartet
rec 15/12/61 rel 65
Won't you stop and take a little time out with me,
Just take five.
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see
I'm alive!
Though I'm goin' out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day,
Not a single word do we say,
It's a pantomime and not a play.
Still I know our eyes often meet,
I feel tingles down to my feet,
When you smile that's much too discreet,
sends me on my way.
Wouldn't it be better not to be so polite?
You could offer a light!
Start a little conversation now it's alright,
Just take five.
Though I'm goin' out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day,
Not a single word do we say,
It's a pantomime and not a play.
Still I know our eyes often meet,
I feel tingles down to my feet,
When you smile that's much too discreet,
sends me on my way.
Wouldn't it be better not to be so polite?
You could offer a light!
Start a little conversation now it's alright,
Just take five,
Just take five,
Just take five,
Just take five,
Just take five.
