Jarreau, Al - Roof Garden Lyrics






Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof?
Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof?

On the town, sequins evening gown
Climb those stairs to that ballroom in the air
Get to poppin'

Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof?

If you dare, dream of yesteryear
In the air, do a step with Fred Astaire
Get your top hat

Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof

You can be what you want to be
Come waltz with me or a hot steppin' boogie
Funk in the pocket

Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof

No one stays in downtown these days
Country calls, got us one and all

Before we end, let me recommend
What to do, when your heart is light or blue
Get to steppin'

Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof?

    I met Al in Europe years ago while flying between London and Bilbao, Spain. I got bumped into 1st class, and there he was. He was sitting behind me. Needless to say, we made conversation while sipping some killer Spanish red wine. He was beginning his European tour, he said... Great guy, awesome conversation, full of insights about touring. He's has always been one of my favorite jazz musicians... R.I.P...

    Does anyone want to go
    Waltzing in the garden?
    Does anyone want to go
    Dance up on the roof?
    On the town,
    Sequins evening gown.
    Climb those stairs
    To that ballroom in the air
    Get to poppin.'
    If you dare,
    Dream of yesteryear.
    In the air
    Do a step with Fred Astaire.
    Get your top hat.
    If you dare,
    Dream of yesteryear.
    In the air
    Do a step with Fred Astaire.
    Get your top hat.
    You can be
    What you want to be
    Come waltz with me
    Or a hot steppin' boogie.
    Funk in the pocket.
    If you dare,
    Dream of yesteryear.
    In the air
    Do a step with Fred Astaire.
    Get your top hat.
