[Verse 1]
"Have you met old Jones?"
Someone said as we shook hands
He was just old Jones to me

[Verse 2]
Then I said, "Old Jones
You're a guy who understands
I'm someone who must be free"

[Bridge]
And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I owned the earth and sky

[Verse 3]
Now I've met old Jones
And well keep on meeting 'til we die
Old Jones and I

[Scatting]

[Verse 1]
He was just old Jones to me

[Scatting]
[Verse 2]
"I'm someone who must be free"

[Bridge]
And all at once I lost my breath
And all at once was scared to death
And all at once I owned the earth and the sky

[Verse 3]
Now I've met old Jones
And well keep on meeting 'til we die
Old Jones and I
Old Jones and I
