Jeru |
| 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 |
