Lean Baby (Letra)
My lean baby – tall and thin
Five feet seven – of bones and skin
But when she tells me maybe she loves me
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be
She’s so skinny – she’s so drawn
When she stands sideways – you (would) think (that) she’s gone
But when she calls me: "baby" – i feel fine
To think she’s frantically, romantically mine
She’s slender, but she’s tender
She makes my heart surrender
And every night, when i hold her tight
The feeling is nice – my arms can go around twice
My lean baby – she’s so slim
A broomstick’s wider – but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me – then i know
I love her so, i’ll never, ever, let her go
My lean baby – strange to see
And all that nothing – it belongs to me
And though she may be scrawny – she’s ok
Because i wouldn’t want her any other way
She’s so skinny – she’s so drawn
When she stands sideways – you (would) think (that) she’s gone
But when she calls me: "baby" – i feel fine
To think she’s frantically, romantically mine
I chased her – and i caught her
Then a diamond ring – i bought her
(hey) the diamonds shine – the ring is so fine
But here is the twist – she wears it right on her wrist
My lean baby – she’s so slim
A broomstick’s wider – but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me – then i know
I love her so, i’ll never, ever, let her go
My lean baby – tall and thin…
(do-do-do-do-do,…)
