These are the lyrics to "Four" as I remember them..not very familiar with the vocal real book so I don't know if this is what you're looking for, and they may not be totally correct, but here it is anyway:
(Trio)
Of the wonderful things that you get out of life there are four
And that may not be many but nobody needs any more
Of the many facts making the list of life, truth takes the lead
And to relax knowing the gist of life, it’s truth you need
Then the second is honor and happiness makes number three
When you put them together you know what the last one must be
Baby so to truth, honor and happiness, add one thing more
Meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that’ll make it four
(Hendricks)
Don’t you know the score, well people when they’re younger never realize the pleasure, treasure life’s got. But as they grow older, realize a lot. They got their minds on all the wrongest scenes, and things that cost a lotta money but it’s really very funny, they fade away and don’t amount to a hill of beans. Funny how the things in life we really should adore, we forget, or ignore, end up poor. We waste our youth and time on money and madness and end up with sadness. Youth is the time when we should see the light, ‘cause when we’re old and wasted the dues for what we’ve tasted run so high that we pay ‘til we die but, we know the youth that made us strong is wasted on the young! So, enjoy it daily, love life, and live it gaily. You’ll find, a lotta things to bring you joy and peace of mind. So get it while the gettin’s good, ‘cause everybody if they only would, life would be a groovy set! Life would be a groovy set, groovy as a movie! Wail! Wail! Let your voice be heard! Spread the word! Everybody here’s got ears. Only gotta teach ‘em how to use ‘em, not abuse ‘em. So take a tip from me: the world’s everything it oughtta be as long as you can be sure there is no more to life than the same old four!
(Ross)
Hard to believe I know, but time will show that even though you think it’s boresome, two and two together constitutes a foursome. That’s all, four is the figure. That’s all! Ain’t gonna be gettin’ any bigger. Doesn’t matter how ya slice it up, you’ll never change it. You count everything that fate throws into life’s pot, still, really four is all you got. Haven’t they told ya ‘bout the little pleasures that are part of all the rest? You live a little ‘n love a little ‘n take a little ‘n give a lot. Still the total is happiness! But that’s only one, you’ve just begun, there’s gonna be more. After this it’s truth and honor shinin’ and love combined to make it four! No more!
