(do...do...do...) 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 think 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 And she's so skinny she's so drawn When she stands sideways you'll think 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 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...
