I never realized the fakebooks display "Afternoon In Paris" in an overly syncopated way, no wonder it felt awkward playing.
Here's the simpler original version as played by the composer-pianist John Lewis. My chart is attached below and reflects this straighter version.

This authentic rhythmic phrasing is how John Lewis and Benny Golson actually played beat 4 and beat 1 of the melody. It's more elegant, imo.
