Take Five

"Take Five" is a jazz piece written by Paul Desmond and performed by The Dave Brubeck Quartet on their 1959 album Time Out. Recorded at Columbia's 30th Street Studios in New York City on June 25, July 1, and August 18, 1959, this piece became one of the group's best-known records. It is famous for its distinctive catchy saxophone melody; imaginative, jolting drum solo; and use of the unusual quintuple (5/4) time, from which its name is derived. The song was first played to a live audience by The Dave Brubeck Quartet at the Village Gate nightclub in New York City in 1959. more »

Jump up and down
Everybody's getting' down with this sound
When the music takes you around
Let the rhythm take you off the ground, hey

Your day job's got you sad
Somebody made you mad
It seems like everyday's the same
You feel like going out
Partying with a crowd
Sometimes you got to break the chain

And everybody wants to get down
Forget the everyday ups and downs
Cause when you hear the beat
You just get off your feet
And join the party

Jump up and down
Everybody's getting' down with this sound
When the music takes you around
Let the rhythm take you off the ground, hey

If you got lots of time
But you ain't got a dime
To do the things you'd like to do
Turn on the radio
Dial up a funky show
And listen for somebody new

And everybody wants to get down
Forget the everyday ups and downs
Cause when you hear the beat
You just get off your feet
And join the party

Jump up and down
Everybody's getting' down with this sound
When the music takes you around
Let the rhythm take you off the ground, Hey!
