Act One
I. Baby Blows the Sax
© Mark Tyne, 2003
C. My baby blows the sax
As a matter of fact,
She's a one girl act
With a golden axe
She can bop that boogie
All night long
And make you twist and shout
Until the band comes on.
My baby blows the sax
Blowing horn for you
1. Well it was August 24, 1963
When her Grandma and her Grandpa
Had a date to have some tea
They were strolling along
And held each other's hand
In forty years, their granddaughter
Is playing in a band
My baby blows the sax
Playing horn for you
----------
Chorus
----------
B. Well she can bop that boogie
All night long
And make you twist and shout
Until the band comes on
She can blow your mind
Blow you away
Make you twist and shout
Until the break of day
----------
Chorus
----------
2. Well it was August 24 th 1985
When her Momma and her Poppa
Parked their car after a ride
Well they kissed goodnight
And before too long,
In 18 years, their daughter's
Blowing sax to this song
My baby blows the sax
Playing horn for you.
----------
Chorus
----------
Break
----------
3. Now it's August 24th
In Two Oh Oh Three
Well, my baby plays the sax
And she just wails it for me
She's the best horn blower
In the land
I've gotta thank her relatives
For starting up this band
My baby blows the sax
Blowing horn for you
----------

I. Give Me A Girl Like You

1. Give me a girl and a saxophone
A lot of space to roam
Give me a girl like you
Give me a girl and a saxophone
A lot of space to roam
Give me some sax and you
2. Give me a car that can wow my girl
Drive around the world
Give me a car that's blue
Give me a girl and a saxophone
A lot of space to roam
Give me a girl like you
C. Then my life would be all right
With my saxophone in sight
I would rocket through the night
Right after my girl
Give me a girl and a saxophone
A lot of space to roam
Give me a girl like you
4. Give me a sax I'll play in my car
When I drive to far
Give me a sax or two
Give me a car that can wow my girl
Drive around the world
Give me a girl like you

I. Saxophone Home

1. School is a long, long way, my friend
I'll help you with that weight, my friend
Burdens are half as heavy when
Two carry the load
C. Now that you're playing in the band
Could you a friend to lend a hand
Won't you let me carry
Your saxophone home?
2. Yes, sir you can depend on me
I'll treat your sax respectfully
You catch your breath and walk with me
Down this winding road
----------
Chorus
----------
B. And we'll make our way
There's no weight too great for us
It's a lovely day
I'm not sad we missed the bus
When you touch (hold) my hand
I can feel the strength of ten
Our love of sax makes us
The best of friends
3. Time will fly past as we both walk
Getting to like the way you talk
Catching a smile, a wink, a thought
Makes my heart beat so
----------
Chorus
----------
Break

4. Just one block more and then we're home
I'll hand you back your saxophone
Same time tomorrow, let me know
If I can walk you home

I. I'm the Best

1. I'm the best, quite simply the best
Got me girl by my side
And the stars in my eyes
And my future looks bright no less
2. I'm the tops, quite simply the tops
I'm a cool quarterback
Who will never get sacked
And I'll win every game for Pop
C. But oh, I can hear the angels cry
Wishing that they could be my bride.
But I've got my angel by my side
And nothing has stopped us yet.
3. I'm the goods, quite simply the goods
I've got talent and smarts
And a lot of heart
I'm your hero through the woods
4. I'm the most, from east to west coast
I've got nothing to fear
And when I look in the mirror
I can see a success, no boast
----------
Chorus

5. I'm the best, quite simply the best
I'm the best, I'm the best.

I. Classical Sax
© Mark Tyne, 2003
1. Puccini never wrote for saxophone
Rossini never dreamt of saxophone
But you dear, when you play the saxophone
I swear a symphony is ringing in my ear.
2. Beethoven never wrote for saxophone
And Mozart never dreamt of saxophone
But you dear, when you play the saxophone
A sweet sonata will bring music to my ears.
C. So please, play for me your sweetest tune
And all of the roses start to bloom.
Your saxophone will bring light
To my darkened life.
3. And Mahler never wrote for saxophone
And Wagner never dreamt of saxophone
But you love, when you play the saxophone
I hear a Handel choir singing in my ear

I. Confident
© Mark Tyne, 2003
For Suzanne Pass
1. You know I used to cry
Worrying my best wasn't good enough
And then I used to sigh
Thinking that the sky
Would tumble down to the rough
But I learned one thing that changed my life
From darkness into day
It was confidence
Chasing my demons away
2. You know I used to sweat
Worrying I'd fail another simple test
And then I used to fret
Thinking that the world
Would pass on by my best
But I learned one thing that changed my life
To hero from a hound
It was confidence
Turning my whole life around
C. And now I'm confident
Noone's gonna put me down
Or push me around
You know I'm confident
Got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
And I'm gonna make good
‘Cause heaven knows
Luck follows a confident pose
Said I am confident
That you could be confident, too.
3. You know I used to fear
Darkness in the night
And shadows in the day
You know I'd stay awake
Worrying my woes would have me
Here to stay
But I learned one thing that changed my life
And could change your life, too
It was confidence
And you could be confident too.
----------
Chorus
----------
B. And I'm telling you once more
Trouble don't come ‘round my door
With the faith I've got, I'm sure
4. You say you've got
Troubles by the dozen
And bad times by the score
And now you say you've got
Lonely tears and fears that
Haunt your old back door
Well you need to learn
Just one thing that
Could set your spirit free
It is confidence
And babe, you can learn it from me

I. Call It Love

1. Call if full honey moon
Call it marriage in June
Call it Cupid's delight
Call it Venus in flight
Call it heaven above
Call it love
2. Call it yes, I'll be true
Call it no, not to you
Call it heart on your sleeve
Call this land make believe
Call it heaven above
Call it love.
C. And love may break your heart in two
But love might save your life
And love may make you play the fool,
But love might make you a wife.
3. Call it carving your name
Call it fanning the flame
Call it spring in the air
Call it double dog dare
Call it heaven above
Call it love
4. Call it right, call it wrong
Call it out in a song
Call it will, call it won't
Call it did, call it don't
Call it heaven above
Call it love.
----------
Chorus

5. Call it young, call it old
Call it do as you're told
Call it breaking the rules
Call the Kings and the Fools
Call it heaven above
Call it love

Call it winter in thaw
Call it cut of the cards
Call it poems of the bard
Call it heaven above
Call it love

Act Two
I. Talent
© Mark Tyne, 2003
1. Irving Berlin and Cole Porter
Rogers and Hammerstein
And Rogers and Hart
All of them excellent writers
But what did they have
That I haven't got?
C1. They had talent
That's what I sayd
They had talent
Made in the shade
They had talent
Barter or trade
And that's the only thing they had
That I haven't got.
2. All of these excellent writers
Could write a sweet song
And have you humming along
They had that one special something
That stops every show
From NYC to Hong Kong
C2. They had talent
Spotlight through haze
They had talent
Turn of a phrase
They had talent
A path through the maze
And that's the only thing they had
That I haven't got
B. But practice makes perfect
As everyone knows
And one day this onion
Will smell like a rose
‘Til then I'll keep dreaming
And keep on my toes
‘Cause this is how the story goes.
3. One day I'll make my own mark, now
I'll write a great musical
And swing with that crowd
Critics will all sing my praises
I'll lift up my voice
And I will sing it out loud
C3. I've got talent
That's what I sayd
I've got talent
Made in the shade
I've got talent
Barter or trade
And that's the
Only thing they had
That I haven't got

I. Doo Wop Sax
© Mark Tyne, 2003
1. Saxophone, shiny and new
Saxophone, reminds me of you
When I get home
I'm gonna play my saxophone
Saxophone, you're all I see
Saxophone, won't you play with me?
When I get home
I'm gonna shine my saxophone
C. I'll play you a solo, so sweetly
Imagine you here in my arms
Surrender to your love
Completely I know
I'll be lost in your fairy tale charms
3. Saxophone, please never stray
Saxophone, my love's gone away
When I get home
I'm gonna work my saxophone
M. Oh my darling
My saxophone
I know your love is true
So please never leave me alone
And when I hold you
Within my arms
You know that I cherish
Your saxophone charms

I. 911
© Mark Tyne, 2003
1. The World Trade Center crashed down
On Nine One One
Three thousand innocent lives
Were lost, my son
Three thousand families came
To grieve that day
To mourn the lives of the loved ones
They lost
2. And those three thousand had each
Touched a hundred lives
Three hundred thousand tears shed
For their deaths that night
Three hundred million hearts broke
From those tears of rage
As we watched each of those buildings
Crash down.
P. And the world would mourn
For these lost lives
And each heart would ache
From dark surprise
And each eye would turn up
To the skies
To see if lightning would
Strike us again
C. But an attack on one
Is a threat to all
And as the world stopped to watch
Those tall building fall
Pray for the innocent ones
And the guilty all
The world will never be the same.

I. Still In Love
© Mark Tyne, 2003
1. Magic in your smile
Stay with me awhile
Someone's little child
Finds love today.
Let it slip away
Someone hears you say
Be that as it may
This summer day
C. Just me and you
In shades of blue
Through the sands of time I find
I'm still in love with you
Through the sands of time I find
I'm still in love with you
2. Let me linger where
Thoughts of you appear
Someone told me there
Is love in you
Let me see your hue
For an hour or two
Cuddle and we coo
This summer day
----------
Chorus
----------
3. Let this feeling go
Will return and grow
Counting on the things,
The things I know
Will you share my life?
Will you be my wife?
Will you hold the knife
To cut our cake?
--------
Chorus

I. Gabriel
© Pass & Tyne, 2003
1. In the days of old
When the world was cold
Juliette would sit
And pine for Romeo
But her folks said “No.
Find another beau.”
And they placed a wall
Between her and Romeo.
But Gabriel said “This will not do
My horn will blow that wall in two.”
C. Gabriel had a trumpet with an
Ancient tone
But Gabe would play much better on my
Saxophone
Gabriel would play my saxophone and oh!
Watch the walls come tumbling down
Gabriel had a wailing horn, now
Can't you see?
Gabriel was playing jazz for
You and me
Gabriel was blowing on a
Saxophone
And the walls come tumbling down
2. Cleopat loved Marc
Their love made a spark
But old Caesar sought to take their love
And tear it apart
Put the Roman army
Between Marc and Pat
Said no mortal love could scale
A wall of armor like that
But Gabriel said they're only men
My horn will blow a hole through them
----------
Chorus
----------
V. Gabriel playing saxophone
Gabriel blowing horn
Gabriel wailing sax
And the walls come tumbling down
----------
Vamp

3. So your folks say no
There's no you for me
And they'll build the Wall of China
Just to keep me from thee
But old Gabe looks down
And he's shaking his head
There's no wall too tall to keep my heart
From where it's been led
And Gabriel says this will not do
My horn will blow that wall in two

I love you with my heart
Son of mine
Where are you playing?
Husband, mine
We'll never be apart
Even when we're old and gray
Sister, mine
Has it really been two years
Since I held you closely?
Brother, mine
I'm holding back the tears
From those I love the most
These days

And I'm proud of all
You're doing
Family, mine
Your mother's tender heart
Goes out to you all
These days

1. The gig we played on the fourth
Had people lining the doors

Said it was all sold out
Couldn't buy just one ticket more.

We sold ‘em out in a flash

B. I saw you yesterday
Holding hands in the park
You're riding long, tall Sally
Until way after dark

She'll be climbing up the charts

We'll sign their contracts, all right
