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

I have dreamt of hearing a vocal version for ages. Thankfully they played this in a coffee place and now my life is complete
@ericsalomonsson4098
S-o-o-o-o Hip-Cool. Never heard a vocal version before. This is just wonderful.

Al Jareau has a vocal version. Not sure if it's the same words.
@thesoultwins72
@Eric Salomonsson......Yes, I used to mix this in on the original Dave Brubeck instrumental version - always sent the audience wild! [released in the UK in 1962 - Fontana Records H.379]
@rmelin13231
My understanding is that Iola Brubeck, Dave's wife, composed the lyrics.
@ivanbueno4153
Me too, was the first time. Vocal version.
@Sparkina
I never even thought this song had words!
@catnipcanoodle
my mind is blown
@TJSol
I absolutely love this, and Carmen McRae's voice is splendid!!!
