Have You Met Miss Jones? lyrics
by Richard Rodgers
[Preamble]
It happened, I felt it happen
I was awake, I wasn't blind
I didn't think, I felt it happen
Now I believe in matter over mind
And now you see we mustn't wait
The nearest moment that we marry is too late
[Verse 1]
"Have you met Miss Jones?"
Someone said as we shook hands
She was just Miss Jones to me
[Verse 2]
Then i said, "Miss Jones
You're a girl who understands
And I'm a man who must be free"
[Bridge]
And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I owned the earth and skies, yes
[Verse 3]
Now I've met Miss Jones
We'll keep on meeting till we die, yes
Miss Jones and I
[Trumpet Chorus with violin bridge: Louis Armstrong]
[Verse 1]
"Have you met Miss Jones?"
Someone said as we shook hands
She was just Miss Jones to me
[Verse 2]
Then i said, "Miss Jones
You're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must be free"
[Bridge]
And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I owned the earth and skies
[Verse 3]
Oh, now I've met Miss Jones
We'll keep on meeting till we die, yes
Miss Jones and I, (scat), Jones and I
