Sassy Lyrics - Singles - 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
