"Blue Jay Way"

Last week, I was thinking about the lines "Ask a p'liceman on the street / There's so many there to meet" in "Blue Jay Way" and had a small realization about the melody to which they're sung, something like this:

(I'm not sure what key the song is in, so I just left the notation in C major.)

The first syllable of "many" is sung with a shorter note value (a sixteenth note) than the surrounding notes, so temporally (if not spatially in the notation), there's a denser concentration of notes here, lending a sense of this abundance.
