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   I'm doin' really nice, travellin' around   But they won't play my record in my old home town      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 "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' somethin's still wrong   There's still somethin' missin' from them good ole songs      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   Big baritone cleanin' up the muddy breaks   If we had saxophones   I could get some recognition from that Mobile, Alabama D.J.
