Have You Met Miss Jones?

Have You Met Miss Jones?
music by Richard Rodgers (left)
lyric by Lorenz Hart (right)

It happened---I felt it happen.
I was awake---I wasn't blind.
I didn't think---I felt it happen, now I believe in matter over mind
And now you see we musn't wait.
The nearest moment that we marry is too late!

"Have you met Miss Jones?" someone said as we shook hands.
She was just Miss Jones to me.
Then I said, "Miss JOnes, you're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must be free."

And all at once I lost my breath, and all at once was scared to death,
And all at once I own the earth and sky!

Now I've met Miss Jones and we'll keep on meeting till we die,
Miss Jones and I.

(unused refrain)
"Have you met Miss Jones?" someone said as they shook hands.
She was just Miss Jones, that's all.
Then he said, "Miss Jones, you're a girl who understands
I'm a man who doesn't fall."

And all at once he lost his breath, and all at once was scared to death,
And all at once he lost his head and will.

Now he loves Miss Jones and they'll love until their hearts stand still,
Miss Jones and Phil!

(unused refrain for girl)
"Have you met Miss Jones?" someone said as we shook hands.
I was just Miss Jones, that's all.
Then he said, "Miss Jones, you're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must not fall."

And all at once we lost our breath, and all at once were scared to death,
And all at once we spoke in tender tones.

Now that he owns me, I own half of everything he owns;
He owns Miss Jones...
