Cover art for Sassy lyrics by Manhattan Transfer, The

Um….

You won’t believe this but listen to this chick we’ve got. Cool or nerdy—it don’t matter—check out what she’s selling. Even on a shoestring budget, she cooks. Check out what she’s saying. She’s tireless and this goes on day and night. She has every intention of landing feet first—a tough little cookie. People don’t really call her Sassy but they could—she can be—often [does an excellent sneer …] Acts sometimes like she’s possessed by demons and then rolls into such heartfelt blues, she makes you cry and then says—but I’m okay—really—it’s nothing—when maybe it’s not. Tossed around like a ship in the ocean, she can and does put her foot down—cut this shit and right now! Knows what she wants to do … our crown jewel of jazz.
