Carmen McRae & The Dave Brubeck Quartet take five single version

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
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 discrete
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 discrete
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
