Second Saxophone |
I play second saxophone |
And in my dreams I’m all alone |
Without another saxophone beside me |
I play second saxophone |
Don’t get a solo of my own |
The Cafe Rouge has never heard me blow |
And all I want to know |
Is when those chicks who line |
Around the stage will end up mine |
They fall for guys who improvise on «Stardust» |
Lord, they’ve had the Dorseys up to their necks |
I’ve got the chops of Vito or Tex |
I can fake Goodman’s break |
Beat me, pops, eight to the bar |
I’m in the mood to be a star |
The cover page of Metronome ain’t tried me |
Artie Shaw gave me a pass |
And Miller’s band signed up en masse |
To serenade the D-Day raid |
If I play one more country club I’ll -- |
Lord, I’d even buy myself a new reed |
If they would only let me play lead |
I’ve quit the band, gone on my own |
I don’t play second saxophone |
From 8 to 6 they hear my licks on Broadway |
This place must be the worst |
But still at least I’m playing first |
I don’t care where I have to play |
I’m going to take my solo |
And it’s going to be solid Jackson |
