[Intro]
EI cut my teeth on Gumbo rock, Benny ASpellman and Dr. EJohn
Sweet Erma Thomas and Frogman Henry
Used to F#boogie woogie all night Blong
AThough I love rock n' roll the acoustic guitar
Was the Eonly way I had of becomin' a star
I'm F#doin' really nice and travellin' around
But they Bwon't play my record in my old home AtownB  
[Chorus]
But if I had saAxophones
Yeah, big baritone cleanin' up the muddy Ebreaks
If I had sAaxophones
I could get some recognition from that Mobile, Alabama D BJC  B  
ELivin' by the ocean, sometimes I get the notion
To Atake my Janey down Etown
We hang out in a funky little bar
They F#call it the "Shipwreck BLounge"
Well we Aget kind of drunk and we play rock n' roll
EGrabbin' everybody right down in his soul
F#When we get to cookin' somethin's still wrong
There's Bstill somethin' missin' from them good ole AsongsB  
[Chorus]
But if we had sAaxophones
Big baritone cleanin' up the muddy Ebreaks
If we had Asaxophones
I could make that joint shimmy like a big California earth qBuakeC  B  
Yeah if we had sAaxophones
Yeah, big baritone cleanin' up the muddy Ebreaks
If we had Asaxophones
I could get some recognition from that Mobile, Alabama D BJC  B
