Lean Baby

My lean baby, tall and thin, 5 feet 7 of bones and skin But when she tells me, baby, 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`d 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 feelin` 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. No - my lean baby, strange to see And all that nothin` it belongs to me. And though she may be scrawny she`s OK Because I wouldn`t want her any other way. Man, 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 diamond shines, the ring is so fine, but here is a 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
