Ask for Jill Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Five four one five oh two, what is the number?
Sixty, west sixty, what street is the street?
There is a girl on the fourth or fifth floor
Buzz at reception, slightly disheveled
Ask for Jill
Ask for Jill
[Chorus]
She'll run, she'll hide
When you try to confide
What you feel inside
What you feel inside
[Verse 2]
Now that the building Jack built is for sale
Now that Jonah has swallowed the whale
Don't stand still
Ask for Jill
[Chorus]
She'll run, she'll hide
When you try to decide
What you feel inside
What you feel inside
[Bridge]
Cut it hot, cut it up, cut it clean, cut it slow
When she walks in, pre-groove echo (Echo)
Ask for Jill
[Interlude]
Hey, it's Chris
What's up?
So I heard
Well, look, let's not beat around the bush
Really?
Yeah, I'll hold
[Outro]
Ask for Jill
Ask for Jill
