**[INTRO — BAND ALREADY GROOVING]**
*[Round bass, crisp syncopated drums, muted guitar, warm electric piano. Female vocalist hums casually over the band.]*
**LEAD — soft, playful**
Mmm…
Ooh, yeah…
Baby…
**[MAIN GROOVE — FEMALE LEAD]**
Mix his Sprite
With the finest of the finest…
And I’ll take a sip.
**BACKGROUND SINGERS — SOFT, CLOSE HARMONY**
Take a sip…
Take a little sip…
**LEAD**
Just to get a buzz
With my baby.
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
With your baby…
**LEAD**
Make it taste better
With passion fruit
From my garden, baby.
**BACKGROUND SINGERS — FLOATING**
From your garden…
Ooh, baby…
**[INSTRUMENTAL POCKET — 8 BARS]**
*[Bass and drums settle into a deep, loping groove. Guitar answers the keyboard. Background singers add wordless harmonies; the lead laughs softly and ad-libs.]*
**LEAD**
Sweet like that…
Sweet like that…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Ooh, so sweet…
**LEAD**
Come a little closer…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Closer to me…
**LEAD**
Take another sip, baby…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
One more sip…

Mix it up…
**LEAD**
Finest of the finest…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Top shelf, baby…
**LEAD**
Take a sip…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Take a sip…

Get a little buzz…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Just you and me…
**LEAD**
Passion fruit…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Passion fruit…
**LEAD**
From my garden, baby…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Your garden, baby…
**[BREAKDOWN — BASS, HAND PERCUSSION, AND VOICE]**
**LEAD — half-whispered**
Mmm… you like that?
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
We like that…
**LEAD**
Make it sweet…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Make it sweet…

Make it last…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS**
Make it last…
**[GROOVE — FULL BAND RETURNS]**
**LEAD — FREE AD-LIBS**
Ooh, baby…
One more sip…
Come sit with me…
Sweet, sweet, sweet…
**BACKGROUND SINGERS — OVERLAPPING**
Passion fruit…
Passion fruit…
From the garden…
*[The band keeps playing. The vocalist murmurs “my baby” as the guitar and bass ride the groove into a natural studio fade into “dirty sprite”.]*
*[Drums drop out. Deep, woozy bass pulses beneath detuned Rhodes chords. Muted guitar echoes from the left to the right. The vocalist breathes into the microphone.]*
**FEMALE LEAD — WHISPERED**
Ooh… getting hazy…
**BACKGROUND VOCALS — DREAMLIKE**
Hazy… hazy…
**FEMALE LEAD**
Slow it down, baby…
**BACKGROUND VOCALS**
Slow it down…
**FEMALE LEAD — MELODIC, FLOATING**
Round and round…
I love the way it feels…
**BACKGROUND VOCALS — STACKED HARMONIES**
The way it feels…
The way it feels…
*[A low tom roll. The bass bends downward. The beat returns with a lopsided, hypnotic swing.]*
**FEMALE LEAD**
Sweet on my tongue…
Heat in the room…
**BACKGROUND VOCALS**
Ooh, baby…
**FEMALE LEAD — SOFT RUN**
I might stay here…
Stay here with you…
FEMALE LEAD — PLAYFUL AD-LIBS
Ooh, don't rush…
Let it ride…
Let it ride…
BACKGROUND VOCALS
Ride… ride…
Passion on your lips…
Sweet like this
