"Have You Met Miss Jones?" — Rodgers and Hart's introductory number from 1937.
"have you met miss jones? " someone said as we shook hands,
She was just miss jones to me.
And then I said, "miss jones, youre a girl who understands
Im 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 owned the earth and sky.
And now Ive met miss jones, and well keep on meeting till we die,
Miss jones and i.
