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,...)
