Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] My lean baby, strange to see And all that nothing, it belongs to me And though she may be scrawny, she's okay Because I wouldn't want her any other way [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] My lean baby, tall and thin Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
