LYRICS

WHEN YOU REST
IN THE RIGHT PLACES,
YOU LEAVE SPACES
WHERE NOTHING APPEARS.

WHEN YOU PAUSE,
THINK OF THE TIMING.
YOU'LL BE RHYMING
IN LINE AFTER LINE.

IT'S A MATTER OF KEEPING THE BEAT
AND I DON'T MEAN JUST TAPPING YOUR FEET .
CAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST GUESS.
UNLESS YOU LIKE A MESS,
YOU GOTTA REST.

WHEN YOU REST
IN THE RIGHT PLACES,
YOU LEAVE SPACES
WHERE NOTHING APPEARS.

WITH THE RESTS
IN THE RIGHT PLACES,
YOU'LL SEE IMPRESSED
LOOKS ON THE FACES
OF GUESTS, WHOSE PRAISES
ATTEST TO YOUR GRACES.

THE BEST PHRASES HAVE RESTS
IN THE RIGHT PLACES,
LEAVING SPACES
WHERE NOTHING APPEARS.

IF YOU COUNT
IT'LL GO NICELY.
YOU'LL KNOW PRECISELY
WHEN TO COME IN.

IT'S A MATTER OF KEEPING THE BEAT
AND I DON'T MEAN JUST TAPPING YOUR FEET
CAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST GUESS.
UNLESS YOU LIKE A MESS,
YOU GOTTA REST.

WHEN YOU REST
IN THE RIGHT PLACES,
YOU LEAVE SPACES
WHERE NOTHING AP-

PEARS.
