Lean Baby

Eleven thousand three ninety-four, take four Do-do-do-do, do-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'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 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, no 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 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 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-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do
