Sassy
(专辑: The Offbeat Of Avenues - 1991)
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 thriving on a
riff She turns the
major Into minor cool In her town she's renown, She's their crowl jewel of jazz She's brazen, simply amazing (When she sings) Her phrasin's jus' like a
saxophone (Misty eyes) Working in the
daytime, jamming Ev'ry night ('il the
broad daylight) Blowing over changes that would Give mos' gals a
fright People call her Sassy That's her attitude Acting like the
devil but When she sings her blues Y' know what she's going through She's hurting, 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 getting evil With her people Cigarette, final set Don' wanna miss her Prelude to a
Kiss Ev'n the
trumpet player's Smiling now She's walking the
line, scatting in Rhyme, she's a
divine jewel of jazz She's brazen, simply amazing (When she sings) Her phrasin's jus' like a
saxophone (Misty eyes) Working in the
daytime, jamming Ev'ry night ('il the
broad daylight) Hanging with the
fellas Can't quite quench her appetite People call her Sassy 'Cause 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 Working in the
daytime, jamming Ev'ry night ('il the
broad daylight) Hanging with the
fellas 'Il she's ready to ignite People call her Sassy 'Cause she knows her mind Someday when she's famous She'll leave the
grind behind She knows what she wants t'do
