Take Five - Live 1977 Version

scatting
 Just stop and take a little time out with me.
 Oh just take five, just take five.
 Stop your busy day and take the time out to see
 that I'm alive, I'm alive.
 Oh, 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 pantomine, I'm out of time.
 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.
 Now wouldn't it be better not to be so polite
 when you could offer a light?
 Just start a little conversation now, it's alright
 when you're taking five...(ah-ha)
 Five!
 scatting
 Won't ya take a little time out with me (my pretty)
 Baby take five.
 Stop your busy day and take the time to see, girl, that 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 pantomine, I'm out of time
 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, pretty mama
 Don't you know that you could offer me a light?
 Start a little conversation now, it's alright
 when you're taking five...
 scatting
 Won't ya take a little time out with me, girl
 Come take five
 Stop your busy day and take the time to see that I'm alive
 Oh, though I'm going out of my way
 so I can pass by each day
 not a single word do we say
 It's a pantomine, I'm out of time
 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.
 Baby, just don't say hello and do not stare
 you could offer your hand
 hugging and a-chugging it could be so grand
 oh take fiiive
