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
