Take Five (Digitally Re-Mastered 2009) - The Dave Brubeck Quartet

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

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

Just take five

Just take five

Just take five
