Saxophones — Jimmy Buffett

Saxophones

By: jimmy buffett

I cut my teeth on gumbo rock, benny stillman and dr. john

Sweet erma thomas and frogman henry

Used to boogie woogie all night long

Though I love rock n roll the acoustic guitar

Was the only way I had of becomin a star

Im doin really nice and travellin around

But they wont play my record in my old home town

Chorus

But if I had saxophones

Yeah, big baritone cleanin up the muddy breaks

If I had saxophones

I could get some recognition from that mobile, alabama d.j.

Livin by the ocean, sometimes I get the notion

To take my janey downtown

We hang out in a funky little bar

They call it the "shipwreck lounge"

Well we get kind of drunk and we play rock n roll

Grabbin everybody right down in his soul

When we get to cookin somethins still wrong

Theres still somethin missin from them good ole songs

Chorus

But if we had saxophones

Big baritone cleanin up the muddy breaks

If we had saxophones

I could make that joint shimmy like a big california earthquake

Yeah if we had saxophones

Yeah, big baritone cleanin up the muddy breaks

If we had saxophones

I could get some recognition from that mobile, alabama d.j.
