Lyrics
I play alto 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 Café Rouge has never heard me blow
And all I want to know is when those chicks who lyin'
Around the stage will end up mine
They fall for guys who improvise on Stardust
Lord, they've had the Dorsey's up to their necks
I 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 the 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 eight to six, 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 gonna take my solo
Means can be solid Jacksy
Thank you, thank-
Thank you, thank you very mu-
God bless you, cheerful giving
Thank you
Thank you very much
