A saxophone is not your friend.
Although you like to play pretend
This fantasy has got to end:
A saxophone is not your friend.
A saxophone is not your pal.
Don’t treat it like a guy or gal
Or even that computer, HAL.
A saxophone is not your pal.
A saxophone is not your beau.
It may enjoy a music show
But will one take you dancing? No.
A saxophone is not your beau.
It’s just a horn, your saxophone.
It’s brass and wood, not skin and bone.
Invest, and you’ll be left alone.
It’s just a horn, your saxophone.
Sopranissimo or bass,
Alto, tenor, contrabass,
Baritone, subcontrabass,
Sopranino, [out of space]
A saxophone is not your friend.
Although you like to play pretend
This fantasy has got to end:
A saxophone is not your friend.
