Generate meaning
1
Why don't you come over 'bout a quarter to nine
2
Bring all of your fam'ly and I will bring mine
3
If I should bring my brothers, and you bring the others
4
Then I can sing a song like Jeru, just for you
5
Just for all the lovely people that you see in the road
6
We'll sing them a song in Jeruvian mode
7
If I can have a pref'rence, I'll even make ref'rence
8
To why you write a song like Jeru, just for you
9
Then if you'd be kind enough to tell me why you
10
write these extended bridges
11
can it be romance that always
12
haunts me in my reverie?
13
So why not come on over 'bout a quarter to eight
14
If you can come early I'll never be late
15
And now you're all invited, I hope you're delighted
16
To sing a little song like Jeru, just for you
17
just for me too
18
Gather around, tale to be told
19
Maybe it's new, maybe it's old, listen my friend
20
Blowin' away, doin' alright
21
Plain' all day, workin' all night, listen again
22
Movin' along, coverin' ground
23
Singin' the song, lovin' the sound, listen and then
24
blow together birds of a feather
25
Out playin' the blues and "I Got Rhythm"
26
All at once a moment came without a warning
27
Got so hot we had to cool it
28
Go for glory, tell you the story
29
Out payin' our dues until we found we were
30
assisting at an unexpected borning
31
'twas the birth of the Cool
32
So now I can tell you why I'm always
33
Trying to tell you, listen, come with me,
34
New York, and we're together in my reverie
35
So why don't you come over 'bout a quarter to two
36
Forget all the others, just me and just you
37
And while we're versifying
38
We'd better start trying
39
To write another song just for me
40
Just for you, one more Jeru
