Al Jarreau - Take Five Lyrics
[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
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.
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
[Scatting]

Al Jarreau Take Five Comments
King of scat😱💐
Al jarred is the.....
This is the real essence of hip hop.
This is the founder of rap music?
1:16 - When speech impediments used to be cool.
baby talk?.. what the hell.................................
this sucks. it's funny to see the pretentious boomers listening to this acting like their balls are dropping for the first time
Yeah, Al sucked so bad he won 7 Grammys and had another 19 nominations. So STFU about pretentious boomers, youngster
@dennis torrence imagine thinking grammy's is a measure of skill lmfao fucking idiot. Grammy's are a popularity contest
you are genius Al
It’s nice to be on California Groove with this guy!
Minecraft enchantment language
I love “Take five” bu I still can’t believe how wonderful Al Jarreau made it with words. Fantastic!!!
I had this as a double album...I lost it.
Take a little bit a time baby ...
Witness a man at the peak of his brilliance! This was phenomenal! Al you are a legend.
A genius at play.
surprisingly amazing
wow! get to 2:30 and you gotta hear and see the magic, such synchronous unwavering flow
Still listening radio2019
Perfect time, perfect pitch...d@mn. Gotta just enjoy.
I love how free he is. He doesn't feel any obligation to act like a normal person who makes sense in normal ways-- everything is music, everything is rhythm, everything is experience, everything is art.
Never seen (and heard) before! Great! Thanks...
Blue Skies is anaother amazing piece by him.
Unreal his technique
This was beyond it's time!!
Genius at work!!
obviously autotuned
@Hand it was a joke - they obviously didn't have autotune back then lol anyway it was humorous to me bro xx
The Nagual Zone you should have
r/whoooed me ?
@Hand whats whooed?
The Nagual Zone when someone doesn’t get the joke
r/whoooed
@Hand cool! - in that case I'll r/whooed both of us together xx
This is beyond talent or ability...good luck trying to describe or label that, nevermind attempt it.
Unvergleichlich, unvergessen, fantastisch. Al Jarreau, still alive.
First beat boxer ever.
Milwaukee Wisconsin representing hometown boy talking about the working in the breweries🍻
Remaining me Djavan Brazilian singer and Gilberto Gil is looking same style
Milwaukee's own!
Once upon a time....music was art.....
genialne
I believe that this YouTube video from 1976 predicts the YouTube emergence of Jacob Collier c. 2014 (with Bobby McFerrin in the middle) :-O
Bet he could do a mean Porky Pig.
wahou...
grew up on him. it formed my being
I am.......Nobody like The Man.....Al Jarreau......Brilliant
Another level
He was so good!
se me hace que la Yoko Ono vió este derroche I M P R E S I O N A N T E de talento y quiso copiar con su muy austera forma de entender el arte, esta obra maestra...
two feet in someone left me no way out was that Al true lover of all that Jazz sorry it sounds cliche. someone help me out of the coolest shit I'ver ever seen
You know the world you live in is fucked up, when more than a thousand people vote this piece of genius down! They all deserve to take five... years in a Correction Facility, where they're forced to listen to Al Jarreau, 24/7
Woooow!
A human instrument he was loved him and his music
Genius !
Maybe it will sound better with the volume all the way down..yup much better.
Amazing voice and he made it looks effortless
Wow, Hammer
This. Is. AMAZING!!! 😳 Human body instrument collection!! Harmony, melody, horn/brass solo, percussion, keys, all in one. Definitely Bobby McFerrin’s inspiration. 👍
A Natural sound. Maker. Don't even need a band...🔥AWESOME
I can’t get enough of this. I really wish I got a chance to see him live before he passed.
Miss you forever, dear one.
Always EPIC! ❤️🌹😢
I hate to ruin it for you folks. Dave Brubeck stole this song that's how he ended up in the hall of fame for jazz. The true author of this song, whom he stole it from is paul Desmond
Rest In Peace my talented brother
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
Amazing !!!
my 20 yr old son asked me what I considered being 'good music' I replied "Al Jarreau, Pink Floyd, Wes Montgomery, The Who, George Duke, Joe Pass, Ella Fitzgerald, Jaco Pastorius, Toots Thielemans, Billy Cobham, Genesis, Maceo Parker, Steely Dan, Michael Jackson..." he says yeah but any contemporaries and I go "- wait! - Quincy Jones, The Sweet, Deep Purple, Focus, Carlos Santana, Dave Brubeck, George Benson, Buddy Rich, Miles Davis, Django Reinhardt, Tito Puente, Matt Bianco, Earth Wind & Fire, Herbie Hancock, Electric Light Orchestra, John McLaughlin, Doobie Brothers, Yes, Paco de Lucía, Chaka Kahn, Rick Astley, The Police..............XD
Great taste in music
GRANDIOSO!!!
Brasil alguém 2019????
opa!...é nóis.
This is an absolute gem!!!!!
Wow, his voice is an instrument.
This is good music. Still sounds good in 2019. Today's music I don't know.
You've left your indelible mark on all our lives. Rest In Power!
I was fortunate enough to experience the great Al Jarreau in concert at the Toronto Jazz Festival a year before he passed away and it was one of the greatest concerts I have ever seen. Al is a true legend in the Jazz world and I know the incredible music he shared with everyone will live on in our hearts forever.
Ciao AL non mi sono mai stancato di seguire la tua musica e la tua forza: per sempre nel cuore !
0:13 he invented beatbox
and 1:29 is ASMR? omg. this guy has been mixing concepts before, before they were even a thing (beatbox, ASMR and scatting)
I LOVE THE STORY he was tellin'!
01:30 real ASMR
Um cantor que excede tudo que pode ser falado de um mito!!! O dom que DEUS lhe deu foi maravilhoso e ele soube usa-lo de forma divina!
El drummer Joe Correro es fantastico !
Wtf is this?????
The one and only
Eminem 6:42
I remember when I first heard this back in the day. I went out and bought the live album and listened to it over and over trying to mimick Evey sound and just gave up. Al was so great and his music is truly a blessing and very much missed.
merci , Video belissimo !*****
This guy
My Gods
Brubeck Ed, PD& Morello's
Take 5 taken a new high
Jarreau is the song
Ja row row row our boat
Life's but the blue
Of the sky
Is this a case of Autism?
I grew up of this music
the audience looks fake
Fan from the Motor City, R.I.P.
Sing it al.
Simply AWESOME.!
Al Jarreau, Nana Vasconcelos, Bob McFerrin, the instruments men.
I had some friends who went to Lincoln High School, in Milwaukee, with Alwin Lopez Jarreau. They told me Al was very musical. They would go over to his house, & he would be practicing singing & song writing, but he never played out anywhere, until he moved to Los Angles. I went out & bought his Green album, 1975's " We Got By", & played it over & over.
God damn. This guy was one with music!
take fiveに歌があったなんて🤭知らなかった
Ma’man!!
I love his music
Nas brought me here
Lyrics:
Take 5
(Al Jarreau)
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…
good partyvibe :)
Amazing, the entire band is incredible
