Manhattan Transfer

Manhattan Transfer - SASSY lyrics

rate me

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)
