Kurt Elling and Charlie Hunter - Sassy

Dig! You really wanna flip your lid?
Step up and give a listen to the singer
Hip or square, say a prayer
When money's stiff, she'll make it on a riff
She turns the major into minor, cool
All over town, she is renowned, woman's the crown, jewel of sound

Dig it! That Sassy's on a hipper trip
Rhythm, she can sharpen to a stinger
Blows insane, that's her lane
She keeps it loose, a ballad or a blues
Ten thousand hours on a thousand gigs
Taking the crown, uptown or down, she's the baddest around

She's brazen, simply amazing
She's blazing, shit is hair-raising
Vibration's a brain invasion
But her phrasing's just like a saxophone

Working in the daytime, jamming every night
Blowing over changes that would give most cats a fright
People call her Sassy, that's her attitude
Acting like the devil, but when she sings her blues
You know what she's going through

She's brazen, simply amazing
She's blazing, shit is hair-raising
Vibration's are our own creation
But her phrasing's just like a saxophone

Watch Sassy take another swig
Now she's getting evil with the people
Cigarette, final set
Don't wanna miss a prelude to a kiss
Even the trumpet player's smiling now
She's walking the line, cutting in rhyme, she is divine all the time

Working in the daytime, jamming every night
Hanging with the fellas 'til she's ready to ignite
People call her Sassy 'cause she knows her mind
She became a living legend from songs she redefined

She's brazen, simply amazing
(From songs she redefined)
She's blazing, shit is hair-raising
(they call her Sassy)
Vibration's are our own creation
(Got that sassy strut)
But her phrasing's just like a saxophone
(Acting like the devil)
She's brazen, simply amazing
(Acting like the devil)
She's blazing, shit is hair-raising
Most impeded to by the rhythm
Vibration's are our own creation
Her phrasing's just like a saxophone

Just like a saxophone
(Like a saxophone)
Just like a saxophone
(Like a saxophone)
Just like a saxophone
(Just like a saxophone)
Just like a saxophone
Dig
