Lyrics

Maggie's Bright
Always knows when the timing's right
Maggie's quick
She never misses a trick
Maggie's smooth
When I'm feelin' down she knows the way to sooth
And bring me back around
I'm a sucker for the sound

Of, Maggie's voice
Sweet as the purr of a fine Rolls Royce
(It goes with) Maggie's lips
Love the way she shares her potato chips
(Then there's) Maggie's eyes
Greener than the greenest green you could visualize
Can't forget her smile
Lights my road, mile after mile

You may have noticed
I've developed quite a start
On a fine addiction
Guess it's true
Just a simple chain reaction
A collision of my heart
With a livin' work of art

(Just my opinion)
Maggie's cool
She's the favorite ride of the motor pool
Maggie's hip
She knows when to let it rip
Maggie's hot
She can charm the badge of a traffic cop
And send him on his way
With his head in total disarray
That's Maggie

You may have noticed
I've developed quite a start
On a fine addiction
Guess it's true
Just a simple chain reaction
A collision of my heart
With a breathin' work of art

Maggie's Bright
Always knows when the timin's right
Maggie's quick
She never misses a trick
Maggie's smooth
When I'm feelin' down she knows the way to sooth
And bring me back around
I'm a sucker for the sound of
Maggie
Maggie's Bright

you always bring it as with this one..... great

Really nice recipe of bluesy, soulful ingredients with a dash of swing folded into this dish.
The lyrics and vocalist are the perfect wax/polish on the smooth and satisfying "ride".

Great job on a cool vibe to a clever lyrical idea!

I like the opening chord progression; nice to hear some 'adult' chords once in a while. The horn arrangement is nice, too. I hear a little Donald Fagan influence in there.

Intro announces an intriguing and special experience ahead. It doesn't disappoint. A tasty meal. A deep dive into a hearty lyrical and harmonic soup. A crackerjack portrait of a well deserving certain lady, of someone one you couldn't soon forget upon meeting. -- Abundant expertise in the creation of this work. Kudos!

Nice effort. Makes you wanna meet Maggie. You sell the song with your performance. Loved the horn arrangement.

Very cool song!!! Is that you Art? This is so clever, so melodic, and so well played and performed!! Killer!!

Loved it!!! Smooth vocals, great instrumentation, & flavor!!!

Song tells a good story, I can feel the artist love for this song. Nice brass parts. Performances are great throughout. Some good jamming on this track!

good lounge jazz number,, very good vocals and vocal style
musiclaly its both cool and with a touch of wildness.

Loved this song right away! Very nice vocal and instrumentaion. Would be great as a movie score.

Playing is solid and very professional. Vocals are on target, like the voice a lot. Nice Segway into ridge. Tune might make it on MOR radio.
