Sassy

Lyrics

Dig!
 Y' really wanna flip your lid?
 Try and give a listen to the singer
 Hip or square, dig her wares
 When money's stiff
 she's thrivin' on a riff
 She turns the major
 into minor cool
 In her town she's reknown,
 she's their crowl jewel of jazz
 She's brazen, simply amazin'
 (When she sings)
 Her phrasin's jus' like a saxophone
 (Misty eyes)
 Workin' in the daytime, jammin'
 ev'ry night (憈il the broad daylight)
 Blowin' over changes that would
 give mos' gals a fright
 People call her Sassy,
 that's her attitude
 Actin' like the devil but
 when she sings her blues
 Y' know what she's goin' through
 She's hurtin', I'm certain,
 she jus' can't say it
 Wings, when she sings
 Body, soul, she's in control
 Dig!
 Watch Sassy take another swig
 Now she's gettin' evil
 with her people
 Cigarette, final set
 Don' wanna miss her
 Prelude to a Kiss
 Ev'n the trumpet player's
 smilin' now
 She's walkin' the line, scattin' in
 rhyme, she's a divine jewel of jazz
 She's brazen, simply amazin'
 (When she sings)
 Her phrasin's jus' like a saxophone
 (Misty eyes)
 Workin' in the daytime, jammin'
 ev'ry night (憈il the broad daylight)
 Hangin' with the fellas
 can't quite quench her appetite
 People call her Sassy
 coz she knows her mind
 Someday she'll be famous and
 leave the grind behind
 She knows what she wants t' do
 She knows it, an' shows it,
 the girl can't help it
 Swings when she sings
 Body, soul, she's in control
 Workin' in the daytime, jammin'
 ev'ry night (憈il the broad daylight)
 Hangin' with the fellas
 憈il she's ready to ignite
 People call her Sassy
 coz she knows her mind
 Someday when she's famous,
 She'll leave the grind behind
 She knows what she wants t'do
 (Repeat Bass Solo)
