Sassy Sarah On The Saxophone
Words & Music by Erika Paul
From the cd entitled, "Scat's My Bag"
When it came time to choose an instrument
Sarah couldn't make up her mind
Clarinet or flute, violin or cello
No, no, no, no, no, no
Those instruments were way too mellow
Sassy Sarah On The Saxophone
Sassy Sarah On The Saxophone
Her melodies tell us her story
Sarah, take it on home
It was when she heard an exciting sound
On a pier in San Francisco
While feeding a seal
She heard this sax squeal
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
This sound for her would be a big deal
Sassy Sarah On The Saxophone
Sassy Sarah On The Saxophone
Her melodies tell us her story
Sarah, take it on home
It would soon be time to audition
Jazz band, marching band, symphony
Was she ready yet? She had more to do!
Learn more notes, learn more rhythms
And listen good to every player
Sassy Sarah On The Saxophone
Sassy Sarah On The Saxophone
Her melodies tell us her story
Sarah, take it on home
She knew there'd come a day she would play her special way
She knew there'd come a day when she'd blow us all away
She knew there'd come a day when her style was here to stay
Sassy Sarah On The Saxophone!
