Sassy — текст песни (Manhattan Transfer)

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)
