The Pointer Sisters, when performing their arrangement,
start this section in
four-part harmony, counterpoint playing off against each other.

CLOUDBURST -- second tenor-sax solo section
Jon Hendricks, words

Oh, let's spin a little, spark a little,
Stop a little, park a little,
Love a little, maybe turtle-dove a little, baby;
Every time you hold me so near,
Nobody loves me like you, dear!

Let's stop a little, tease a little,
Prob'ly maybe squeeze a little,
Try a little, sigh a little,
Maybe I can lie a little
bit,
Gonna tell you the truth:
I'm gonna love you,
And that's it!

'Cause I love you baby, love you baby,
Love you baby, love you baby,
Love you baby with all my heart!
Ooh, listen to me when I tell you that
A lot of little fellas got away
But I know, I know, pretty baby,
I know, pretty baby, I know
You're the one, yes, you're the one.
I knew it when I met ya --
What a break to get ya!

to be continued with the next
exchange between trumpet and tenor saxophone ...
