Sassy Lyrics

Manhattan Transfer

Dig, you 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 renowned She's their crowl jewel of jazz
She's brazen, simply amazin' And her phrasin', just like a saxophone
Workin' in the daytime, jammin' every night Till the broad daylight Blowin' over changes that would give most gals a fright People call her Sassy, that's her attitude Actin' like the devil but when she sings her blues You know what she's goin' through
She's hurtin', I'm certain, she just can't say it Swings, when she sings, her body Her soul, she's in control
Dig, watch Sassy take another swig Now she's gettin' evil with her people Cigarette, final set
Don't wanna miss her prelude to a kiss Even 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' And her phrasin', just like a saxophone
Workin' in the daytime, jammin', every night Till the mornin' light Hangin' 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 to do
She knows it and shows it, the girl can't help it Swings when she sings, her body Soul, she's in control
When she sings, misty eyes
Workin' in the daytime, jammin' everynight Till the mornin' light Hangin' with the fellas till 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 to do
She knows it and shows it, the girl can't help it Swings when she sings, her body Her soul, she's in control
