Rondo - Dave Brubeck Octet

Round Round Round
Round round round a melody
Round round round a harmony
Round round round a melody
Harmony melody-steadily
Round round round a melody
Round round round a memory
Round round round a melody
Memory melody merrily.
There's a melody
I used to play
Counterpoint every yesterday.
Swiftly up and down
I hasten and
Chasten my fingers and heart to play.
Round round round a melody
Round round round a memory
Round round round a melody
Memory harmony-steadily
Round round round a melody
Round round round a mystery
Round round round a melody
Mystery mirror of history.
Taking over all my reveries
Hearing passions in the melodies
Play it up and down so wearily
Stumbling fumbling tumbling.
Round round round a melody
Round round round a harmony
Round round round a melody
Harmony melody memory
Round round town
I follow you.
Round round town
I'm calling you.
Round round town
I hasten to do
All the chasing you want me to.
Open up an opportunity
For I know that you will be
Truly happy and content with me.
Measure me treasure me pleasure me.
Open up an opportunity.
Open up an offer.
You will be
Truly happy and content with me.
Measure me treasure me pleasure me.
Round round round a melody
Round round round a you and me.
Round round round a melody
You and me melody and harmony.
Round round round a melody
Round round round a harmony
Round round round a melody
Harmony mystery-you and me.
Don't you see
That we were meant to be
One and the same.
Melody married to harmony
One and the same.
Change the score
We will be ever more
One and the same.
Melody married to harmony
One and the same.
Here it comes our symphony
Measure by measure.
A melody and harmony
You and me in harmony.
You and me so happy
Were making it
Shaking the blues ain't bothering me.
Here it comes our symphony
Measure by measure
A pleasure.
A melody and harmony
You and me in harmony
You and me so happy
We found a new rondo
To end the blue rondo today.
