The jazz lyric is one of the most important devices for a singer. That is why I decided to start this blog. So that singers like myself can have a valuable resource to use. Most of the lyrics that I post will be for tunes outside of The Great American Songbook.

Take Five
Music - Dave Brubeck
Lyrics - Iola Brubeck
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 if I'm alive
Though I'm going 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
~ IMPROVISATION ~
(Repeat from 2nd verse to end)
