Christie Lee lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Christie Lee lyrics Let me tell you a storyAbout a woman and a manMaybe you will find familiar Maybe you won t understandThe man s name I don t rememberHe was always Joe to me But I can t forget the womanShe was always Christie Lee He was working in a night clubThat s where he played the saxophone He used to fake to stock arrangementsHe left the customers alone But one night before the last songAbout a quarter after three He saw her standing at the coat checkAnd made his move on Christie Lee Christie Lee, Christie LeeChristie Lee, Christie Lee She was a nice piece of musicShe had a rhythm all her own He blew a solo like a blind manShe really dug his saxophone She wanted more than just an encoreAnd he could play in every key He left the stage and packed his altoAnd he took it home with Christie Lee Oh I heard the man knew "the Bird" like the bible You know the man could blow an educated axe He couldn t see that Christie Lee was a womanWho didn t need another lover All she wanted was the saxIt took a while for him to notice It took a while for him to seeHe was never in control here It was always Christie LeeChristie Lee, Christie LeeChristie Lee, Christie Lee Oh the man took a calculated gambleYes the man had the power to perform But Christie Lee was more than he knew how to handleShe didn t need him as a man All she wanted was the hornThey say that Joe became a wino They say he always drinks aloneThey say he stumbles like a blind man They say he sold his saxophoneEven the band must face the music That s what the moral is to meThe only time you hit the high note Is when you play for Christie LeeChristie Lee, Christie Lee Christie Lee, Christie Lee song lyrics
