| Why don’t you come over 'bout a quarter to nine
|
| Bring all of your fam’ly and I will bring mine
|
| If I should bring my brothers, and you bring the others
|
| Then I can sing a song like Jeru, just for you
|
| Just for all the lovely people that you see in the road
|
| We’ll sing them a song in Jeruvian mode
|
| If I can have a pref’rence, I’ll even make ref’rence
|
| To why you write a song like Jeru, just for you
|
| Then if you’d be kind enough to tell me why you
|
| Write these extended bridges
|
| Can it be romance that always
|
| Haunts me in my reverie?
|
| So why not come on over 'bout a quarter to eight
|
| If you can come early I’ll never be late
|
| And now you’re all invited, I hope you’re delighted
|
| To sing a little song like Jeru, just for you
|
| Just for me too
|
| Gather around, tale to be told
|
| Maybe it’s new, maybe it’s old, listen my friend
|
| Blowin' away, doin' alright
|
| Plain' all day, workin' all night, listen again
|
| Movin' along, coverin' ground
|
| Singin' the song, lovin' the sound, listen and then
|
| Blow together birds of a feather
|
| Out playin' the blues and «I Got Rhythm»
|
| All at once a moment came without a warning
|
| Got so hot we had to cool it
|
| Go for glory, tell you the story
|
| Out payin' our dues until we found we were
|
| Assisting at an unexpected borning
|
| 'twas the birth of the Cool
|
| So now I can tell you why I’m always
|
| Trying to tell you, listen, come with me
|
| New York, and we’re together in my reverie
|
| So why don’t you come over 'bout a quarter to two
|
| Forget all the others, just me and just you
|
| And while we’re versifying
|
| We’d better start trying
|
| To write another song just for me
|
| Just for you, one more Jeru |
