Frank Sinatra - Lean Baby lyrics

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

Do-do-do-do do do-do, do-do-do
