Blue Rondo à La Turk Lyrics - Dave Brubeck

Blue Rondo A La Turk (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.
