Manhattan Transfer: Sassy

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 (til 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 (til 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 (til the broad daylight) Hangin' with the fellas til 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)
